Written and performed by some of Ireland’s funniest theatrical talent, this immersive night of storytelling, music, and mischief dives headfirst into Cork’s 1500-year history—with plenty of cheek, charm, and local colour.
Expect rebels, rogues, poets, and pranksters all served up with a healthy dose of Cork wit from 6.30pm until late.
You’ll kick things off with a refreshing Kinsale Mead cocktail, followed by a two-course dinner packed with flavours straight from local producers. While you tuck in, the show unfolds around you—think hilarious characters, dramatic tales, and some very lively lessons in how to “speak Cork” like a local.
Add in a bit of live music, audience banter, and top-tier acting, and you’ve got a night that’s as tasty as it is theatrical.
