Becky Umbers: Tell That Horse To Keep His Mouth Shut (WIP)

RBM ComedyProfessional company

You want to get the truth straight from the horse's mouth. But what if that horse disagrees with you? What if that horse is lying? What if... it's part of the cover-up? We all have that family member: like the aunt who's convinced the Earth is flat. This fun, silly comedy show dives headfirst into the world of conspiracy theories. If you're hoping for proof the moon landing was fake, this isn't the show for you. But if you’ve argued with someone whose theory makes no sense – welcome.

About RBM Comedy

Becky Umbers: Tell That Horse To Keep His Mouth Shut (WIP) is a stand-up solo show by RBM Comedy, performed at Nic 3 (Nicolson Square Venues) at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. This fun, silly comedy show dives headfirst into the world of conspiracy theories. From the aunt who's convinced the Earth is flat to theories that make no sense — if you've ever argued with a conspiracy theorist, you'll find plenty to recognise here. The show is not about proving the moon landing was fake, but about those family members who insist they know better. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A comedy show for anyone who has ever sat across from a conspiracy theorist at a family gathering and lost the will to argue. Warm, silly and relatable — it treats the subject with affectionate exasperation rather than mockery.
