Comedy Austin venue guide
About The Hideout Theatre
The Hideout Theatre has taught and presented improvisational theater since 1999. Its programming spans short-form games, character-driven long form, narrative improv, student showcases, and family performances. The theater now operates from its North Lamar annex, where its school and stage continue a particularly important strand of Austin's improv history.
What to expect
Expect the experience to reflect the room itself. The audience is usually close to the stage, making timing, crowd energy, and the personality of the host especially important. The published age guidance is all ages, and the venue is currently associated with improv and variety. Current calendar listings include The Selena Sing-A-Long Show, The Recently Deceased, and The Improvised Movie, a useful snapshot of the room's published programming. Lineups and schedules can move quickly, so each Comedy Austin event page points back to the venue's own listing for final ticket and admission details.
Planning your visit
