HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS Extends London Run at the Arcola Theatre

Hold On To Your Butts has announced a one week extension at the Arcola Theatre, until Saturday 11 January with performances on sale now. Following the London run, the show tours the UK from 7 February, starting at Curve Theatre in Leicester.

Recent Cutbacks' live shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time is performed by just two actors and a live Foley artist.

A wildly inventive tour-de-force of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley, 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 and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, West End) and Laurence Pears [until 4 January] (The Mousetrap, UK Tour; The Comedy About A Bank Robbery and Magic Goes Wrong, West End), with live sound and foley by Charlie Ives (A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story, Nottingham Playhouse and Alexandra Palace; Private Lives, West End). They are joined by Swing and Associate Director Charlie Richards (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End) who joins the main company from 6 January and on tour. A Cappella arrangements are by Kelsey Didion.

Recent Cutbacks is a New York-based creative ensemble founded in 2014. Their critically acclaimed work sits at the intersection of comedy and theatre. They're best known for live movie parodies that fuse humour, nostalgia, and lo-fi spectacle.

Their projects invite audiences to see the world with a newfound exuberance and remind us why we fell in love with movies, theatre, and storytelling in the first place.
