An improv-ocative performance

Cork is preparing to veer off-script once again this Christmas as the uproariously chaotic Improv Panto makes an ironically predictable return to Leeside.

For those unaware, this isn’t your traditional panto! It’s a completely unscripted performance where the audience gets to choose the story and who plays which character, setting the scene for an evening of outrageous off-the-cuff comedy, bonkers characters, and unexpected twists.

Whether you’re a seasoned panto lover or a first-time attendee, The Improv Panto at Cork Opera House promises to deliver a night of unforgettable entertainment and a chance to experience the magic and mayhem that only The Improv Panto can provide. An annual tradition for many, including hundreds of work and Christmas parties, audiences can enjoy a night of on-the-spot songs, insane dialogue, and non-stop craic.

The cast features talented improvisers, actors, and comedians, including Dominic MacHale of ‘The Young Offenders’; the people’s princess, Laura O’Mahony; the inimitable John McCarthy: the beloved and hilarious Declan Wolfe; the witty and very bould Laura Harte; and the immensely talented Dylan Howe on keys.

So, gather your family and friends, don your festive sparkle, and come enjoy the most unpredictable and uproarious event of the season!
