Wednesday 31st July – Saturday 3rd August 2024 The Comedy Improvised Midsummer Murder Mystery Starring Laura O’Mahony, Laura Harte and John McCarthy from The Improv Panto, with Annette Roche and Adrian Scanlan from Snatch Comedy Improv Your favourite Improv Comedy Murder Mystery Gang are back this Summer with a fast-paced version of their hit show. There’s been a murder and everyone is a suspect! Whodunnit? Who knows? Certainly not the cast because this show is entirely improvised. With no script to fall back on, the actors must create the entire plot, with its many twists and turns, totally off the cuff. As always with this gang, things get out of hand pretty quickly with deadly (and hilarious) consequences. The audience plays their part too as they secretly decide beforehand who the mysterious murderer is. They also provide hilarious ‘secrets’ that the cast read out at random moments to add mayhem and mirth to the proceedings. All of this is completed before the show starts so you can then sit back, relax and enjoy the ensuing mayhem. Due to the unpredictable nature of the show and the audience suggestions, this show is only suitable for persons over 16. Definitely not one for the kids. Directed by: James Horgan The Comedy Improv Midsummer Murder Mystery is part of the Cork Arts Theatre Summer Season. Running throughout July and August, each of the eight shows in the season will have 6 performances from Wednesday – Saturday, including a 1pm show on Thursday and Friday.
