Improvise This

Cork's longest running comedy improv group have made their return to a monthly residency at The Roundy; three of their five members talk the serious business of comedy with Tripe + Drisheen.

Click play above to listen to Adrian Scanlan, Marcus Bale and Mícheál Roche of Snatch Comedy Improv in discussion in The Roundy.


In photos: Snatch Comedy Improv are celebrating an incredible 20 years of delivering their distinctive improvised shows this year: they were founded in March 2002.

Like all other live performers, Snatch’s shenanigans were shut down due to Covid restrictions and the group took to online performances and even a live radio show to keep engaging with their audience through nearly two years of no shows. But now they’re back, with their monthly residency in The Roundy. Here, three of the group are photographed on the stage of the small venue they call home…….
