The Improv Panto makes its triumphant return to Cork Opera House this December and this year, we’re bringing you even more festive fun with two extra shows for the first time ever on Friday 27th, and Saturday December 28th! This isn’t your traditional panto – it’s an uproarious, completely unscripted performance where YOU, the audience, get to choose the story and who plays what character. Join us for an evening filled with spontaneous comedy, outrageous characters, and unexpected twists as our talented improvisers create a hilarious panto adventure right before your eyes. Whether you’re a seasoned panto lover or a first-time attendee, The Improv Panto promises to deliver a night of unforgettable, entertainment. With the added bonus of two extra shows, there’s even more opportunity 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 gas craic altogether, packed with laughter, fun, made-up hilarity, on the spot songs, dancing, and insane dialogue! Featuring talented improvisers, actors and comedians including Dominic MacHale star of the blockbuster hit movie and TV series The Young Offenders, the people’s princess Laura O’Mahony, beloved and hilarious Declan Wolfe star of the recent Summer Revels!, the witty and very bould Laura Harte, the inimitable John McCarthy with the immensely talented Dylan Howe on Keys.
