Every Wednesday in the Duke at 8.30Pm The players create quick witted sketches, scenes and songs from whatever suggestions are thrown at them by the audience to create a show that's fast, feelgood and always unpredictably funny. There's a referee on hand to steer the entertainment, call any fouls.

My boyfriend and I visited this comedy club and it really was tiny! I would recommend coming early enough to make sure you have a comfy seat, as it really is small! The place was full and the atmosphere was great. The free pizza was from supermacs along with sausages and wedges (my boyfriend and I are vegan and were delighted to see wedges!) The host was absolutely hilarious, along with all the acts. Great value!

Went to the open mic on Monday. Honestly, one of the best nights of comedy I have ever been to. The room is gorgeous with the candles and lighting and the comedians were all nothing short of hilarious. Some really great talent in Cork and I am so excited to go again for the professional show on Wednesday!! Cannot believe it’s a free entry, would highly recommend checking it out.
