Improv Comedy Classes

The Hideout Theatre has been selflessly offering improv classes to working actors, disgruntled engineers, college students and all manner of Austinites since 1999. Hundreds of people have discovered that improv is a fun hobby, a unique art form and a powerful tool in their personal and professional lives. We offer classes year-round, with Level 1 classes starting every month.
The Hideout is at the epicenter of Austin's current improv explosion with sold-out shows on Saturday night like Maestro, Improvised Shakespeare, Start Trekkin' and Gorilla Theatre. Our instructors are the most experienced and passionate in Austin and our curriculum (based on the work of Canadian improv guru Keith Johnstone) will blow your mind.
