Hold On To Your Butts
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
July 31st–August 26th, 2024
Pleasance Courtyard
Fringe 2024 has concluded. Stay tuned for updates on Fringe 2025!
The critically acclaimed, sold-out comedy from New York makes its UK premiere.
Two actors and a Foley artist perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time. A wildly inventive tour-de-force of comedy, physical theatre and live Foley.
