A brand new comedy take on Jules Verne’s classic novel, full of belly laughs, music and dinosaurs – from Lamphouse Theatre, makers of War Of The Worlds (On A Budget) and Frankenstein (On A Budget)


Take a break Rick Wakeman, back to your trailer Brendan Fraser, watch and learn Jules Verne, Lamphouse are going on a journey all the way to the centre of the Earth! Two intrepid explorers, one impossible mission (featuring at least one joke about a big hole), and no special effects budget whatsoever. What could possibly go wrong?

From the makers of War Of The Worlds (On A Budget) and Frankenstein (On A Budget) this new comedy take on Jules Verne’s classic novel will be one epic night out, full of belly laughs, brand new music and really impressive* dinosaurs.

Featuring Tom Fox and Becky Owen-Fisher, the familiar faces behind the On A Budget series, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth will be another fan favourite. Expect silly jokes, catchy tunes, ridiculous costumes and lots and lots of cardboard.
