A crowd pleaser for all ages, this marathon of a show is engaging, stomach-achingly funny, and exactly what you would expect at the Fringe
In a brilliant move to marry classic cinema and physical theatre, Hold Onto Your Butts is a must see at this year’s Fringe Festival. A whirlwind of characters and sound, this herculean effort was infinitely likeable from the first moment. This shot by shot theatrical parody of beloved classic Jurassic Park was faithfully and inventively done with an imaginative array of props and a live Foley artist. Playing all characters, the acting pair were an absolute delight, and their joy performing the show was evident.
It is no small feat to attempt to recreate a widely beloved film in a completely different media. This team took the challenge head on and achieved something ridiculous and brilliant in equal measure. From dinosaurs clad in party hats and singing The Proclaimers, to helicopters consisting of umbrellas, the sheer creativity of this piece was meteoric.
A crowd pleaser for all ages, this marathon of a show is engaging, stomach-achingly funny, and exactly what you would expect at the Fringe. This already brilliant show would be even more spectacular with more distinct transitions between characters. As the transitions were fast and chaotic, the character tracking became impossible to follow, but it is likely as the weeks progress, and the show settles into the Fringe run, this will occur naturally. An excellent team with a firm grasp of comedy; physical, situational, and parody this show deserves all the praise and success the Festival has to offer.
