Definitely one for the entire family (especially the kids), Hold On To Your Butts is a madcap show that’s entirely zany! A hilarious comedic parody of Jurassic Park (which is obvious from the advertising), Hold On To Your Butts is crazy slapstick as two adventurers take on the dinosaurs (who they also play) in a game of survival of the fittest. Will it be the dinosaurs – the Triceratops, the Dilophosaurus, the Pterodactyls – who defeat the men, or will the men (played via lots of crazy slapstick by Charlie Richards and Jack Baldwin) rule the earth?
