Following a smash-hit run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer and multiple sold-out seasons in New York, the live shot-for-shit parody heads to London.

Recent Cutbacks' Hold On To Your Butts will head to the Arcola Theatre for a limited run this Christmas, before a UK tour.
The live shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time is performed by just two actors and a live Foley artist. It is presented by Recent Cutbacks, a New York-based creative ensemble whose critically acclaimed work sits at the intersection of comedy and theatre.
Hold On To Your Butts was created by Recent Cutbacks, directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker (Puffs, Or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, Off-Broadway), developed with Nick Abeel, Kyle Schaefer & Blair Busbee, and stars Jack Baldwin (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End) and Laurence Pears (The Mousetrap, UK Tour), with live sound and foley by Charlie Ives (A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story, Nottingham Playhouse and Alexandra Palace). A Cappella arrangements are by Kelsey Didion.
Hold On To Your Butts will play at the Arcola Theatre from 10 December 2024 - 4 January 2025.
