One of a kind experience - My boyfriend and I were looking for something new and different to do and said we’d try hysterical histories. It was absolutely fantastic! The three girls were very funny and extremely talented! As a history buff/tour guide and proud Corkonian myself,I learned a lot about my beloved city that even I didn’t know. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a laugh, good food and some historical knowledge.

So much fun - Can't recommend this enough, it's so much fun! The stories are fascinating and the singing is beautiful. Our 2 boys (10 and 8) absolutely howled laughing and raved about it the whole next day. Definitely worth a visit.

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!)
Jealous of the great singing voices and lovely to go down memory lane and hear songs of a childhood-I mean you, Johnny Jump Up!
The stories were very well presented -both funny and poignant. Not kitschy or playing to a certain demographic-just the history of Cork done well.
Very warm and welcoming personnel made it a very personal experience.
The communal table format made for great banter between the groups.
Think this would be so useful to secondary school students to bring together all the strands of their knowledge into one coherent piece.

History done differently - It was a little difficult to find Amicus restaurant, where it’s held, but it was worth working through the rain to do so. The cast are entertaining, very friendly and the show provides a unique way to understand the history of Cork - much better than reading a book. The food was okay, not great, however we were blessed with some lovely dinner companions from New Jersey. I thoroughly enjoyed the night and would suggest it’s a good bit of fun.
