Hold On To Your Butts: The must-see parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time is coming to Maidenhead

It’s going to be roarsome! Sixty five million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth… 30 years ago, a movie about dinosaurs ruled the box office… Hold On To Your Butts celebrates it all.

Organisers say it is a must-see shot-for-shot parody of the greatest dinosaur film of all time.

After selling out in New York and at the Edinburgh Festival, this wildly inventive tour-de-force of comedy comes to Norden Farm.

It is performed by just two actors and a live Foley artist.

Foley artists recreate the sound for film, TV and video games.

Usually done in post production, they mimic the actions of the actors on screen, recording their sounds and sound effects.

Foley artist Charlie Ives creates roars, rainstorms, computer beeps, creaking branches and more, all live on stage.
