Our Reviews
Amazing experience! Start to finish, the whole thing was fab.
The actors did a great job, they were so engaging, kind, and entertaining. They really held the audience captive. The show was funny, well paced, and interesting. Even as a Cork local I learned something new!
I highly recommend this very enjoyable show, whether you’re a tourist or Cork native.
A very entertaining jaunt through Cork’s history. Delivered with a tongue in cheek approach which gave much amusement to the capacity audience who delighted in the inventive and clever scripting performed by very talented actors.
Spent a lovely evening in Amicus, watching this very talented group
I loved the novelty of a dinner theatre show and wish this group continued success who went over and beyond making sure every guest was made welcome and comfortable.
Absolutely excellent! Brilliant, musical, masterfully humour-filled.
Really loved the show (And the food). I had my 9 and 10 year old daughters with myself and wife, all four of us laughed and mourned, shared in the sorrows and joys of a city through its 1500 years.
Absolutely amazing! It was so well written and brilliantly performed
The perfect balance of historical interest, beautiful singing and, of course, plenty of laugh out loud moments. Such an entertaining show performed in a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
The history of Cork-done really well. Immensely enjoyable experience!
We had such a great time and learned so much about the history of Cork (even the Corkonian in the group learned something new-I know, like!) Immensely enjoyable experience!
Excellent! The Hysterical Histories show exceeded all hopes and expectations
We saw this show as an adult family of four last night and it exceed all hopes and expectations. We had a wonderful (hysterical) time while also learning a bit and eating delicious food.
Well worth going to, a real gem of genuine Cork- up the Rebels!
We went as a family outing for my husband’s birthday and really enjoyed it. All six of us had a laugh, but also learned a lot. This is a fun, accessible way for everyone to learn history!
