I don t think I have laughed out loud in years as I did from the affordable, high quality, and relatable shows at this place. Though I am from the east, I could relate to the comedy and recommend for anyone local or visiting.

A super cute improve theater at the back of a coffee house. Every show is different, the audience participates, and the players strive to make you laugh. And they succeed! Check out this hidden gem of Austin!

I was looking for a third place, one that was not my home or work, but somewhere in between. The Hideout quickly became one of my absolutely favorite places, one that has allowed me to express myself through improv theater (classes starting all the time!) but more importantly, I found a community of awesome and supportive people. Come for the live theater, stay for the friendliness (and delicious easy tiger pastries) I hope you enjoy what these funny, talented people have in store for you!

Weve always enjoyed the improv shows here and my child attended one of their workshops this spring. They hire improv students to teach the classes and the kids have fun. Its a great opportunity for your little one to be in a low commitment, informal class setting that supports and encourages creative thought and expression. And they have scholarships, so theyre making sure everyone can come!

Nice theatre tucked away at the back of a coffee shop. Took in a fun comedy show with a partial pay what you can system which was a nice touch as well. Didnt get to try out the coffee shop during our stay, partially because theres not really enough time to order something during intermission unless youre able to order it right away from the app or beat the line out the door.

I took my niece (5) and nephew (7) to the Sunday children s show and it was delightful! The performers were wonderful about engaging the kids and making it interactive. Very creative! It was fun to watch! And certainly a bargain in terms of ticket cost. My only suggestion might be to bring the vocabulary down a notch or to explain some of the more complex words, especially those used repeatedly (like protagonist and perilous ). A lovely afternoon activity.

Quirky little Austin place with improv skits. Good, close seating and interesting, funny ideas for their performances. The night we went seemed family friendly as well. Its located behind a coffee shop that also has wine and beer you can bring into the theater. .First come- first served seating so try to get there early if you want to sit together.

For the improv, the man with the beard is a master hypnotist can make you believe that he is holding a cigarette. I started to believe that he was actually holding a cigarette because he was so skilled at mimicking the process for using a cigarette. The non bearded man was very good at yelling for comedic effect. One of the women was good at staring daggers into the bearded mans face. The other woman was good at impersonating a 1950s waitress. This is possibly the greatest improv that has ever existed in the history of time and space. I am sure that one day they will perform sn Austin version of Hamlet or Senecas plays in a football stadium.

I ve been coming here for about a year now and this is THE place to be for anything improv related. They have shows, which are ALL improvised. (no line memorizing or stuff like that)They even have classes for kids with autism. It s great to work with people who are actually nice, and have something in common with me, and I have many good friends here. Service is good, and food is great. Overall, I recommend this place to anybody who is interested in improv or anything theatre related!

The Hideout Theatre is truly an amazing space. I started my improv journey here, as an awkward introvert, in an effort to improve my own confidence and to make myself more interesting and outgoing. After a year and a half, I think I accomplished my goal. What I did not expect, however, was the number of astounding people I met and got close to along the way. I have never felt so much part of such a large community of equals. Even though we all came from different places and have different skills, there was never a question we all had each others back 100% in class and on stage. Even though I have not been through here in years at this point, I still think back to my wonderful time learning and growing with this group of people. Thank you to the wonderful organizers behind this space. You make it all possible. Best regards, Alex

We were spending the weekend in Austin and looking for something to do with our two teen boys (who happen to have advanced senses of humor). I was happy to find this place, because it didn t have a minimum age (although the nighttime shows are supposed to be PG-13 and you should use your discretion...my kids can definitely handle it). Anyway, we saw Maestro, the competitive improv show. It was so much fun and hilarious! The theatre is super small, which made for an amazing night and lots of audience involvement. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

Never before have I ever been treated so appallingly rude by service staff in my entire life; it is days later and I am still in shock about it. I am usually a positive, forgiving person, but I cant let this experience go without at least saying something so it saves other innocent patrons from the same wrath! The young male behind the food/drink counter was not only short/rude/aggressive/cranky/angry toward me during my two drink orders, he was also that way with others in my party who arrived before/after me and ordered at the counter entirely separately (so it wasnt just me who seemed to rouse the inner demon in this guy). I have been to this theatre for improv a few times before and while the service staff hasnt been the greatest, this particular Saturday night has left a lasting impression on me to the point where I may never ever go back. Truly awful experience and it set a negative tone for that whole theatre experience, basically ruining half my night.

I was fearful this would be cringe-worthy but all the participants in the improv were hilarious and one woman even did an 8 character skit solo! Suggestions from the audience keep things spontaneous and the hosts did an excellent job of keeping things moving. Step out during intermission for great bites and drinks! Heard the 20th anniversary is coming up! I can see how this gem has been successful for so long :)

This niche little coffee shop was a unique experience. It was not my ideal coffee house, but others may enjoy the ambience. The place was incredibly quiet, despite having a few people inside. Honestly reminded me of a library. I assume great if you want to read a book or work in peace. What I wasnt exactly impressed with was the staff member who seemed rather uninviting. I dont expect everyone to be jovial, but I expect them to look at you and respond politely to questions. I felt as though I was being a burden by ordering a coffee, which made my experience uncomfortable. My coffee was better than average, but not the best coffee Ive had. Its definitely an acceptable cup of coffee for a quick stop in. If the staff member was more polite and courteous to my ignorance of the options Id probably say this place is a solid 4-star. I realize I may have just had an unlucky experience.

Fun concept of cafe and theater. The improv was hilarious and super affordable.

It was ok. Made my guest laugh but it was ok for me. The atmosphere is definitely Austin. Keep it weird.

Love this coffee shop. I used to go here all the time. Great place to drop in grab a coffee and open up a book. . . The theatre is good too. Ive seen a show or two there.

If you want feminists and social justice warriors to ruin comedy for you, you will feel right at home at The Hideout. In fact, the entire time you are here, you will feel like you are in a BuzzFeed video. At The Hideout, accents arent allowed because they are racist. Hillary Clinton jokes arent allowed (but Trump jokes are) because they are sexist. And apparently, any scene in which a woman plays a feminine role is also sexist. At The Hideout, everything is offensive; and upper management (Andy Crouch, the director of the education program) has made it a top priority to make their instructors abruptly intervene in your scenes to tell you that something is offensive. You might not learn much of improvisation here, but youll definitely get a lesson in Social Justice 101 from woke SJWs. Many other students and interns I knew during my time here had brought up these things in our conversations which is why I thought this review was long overdue. As embarrassing as this school is, I really feel sorry for the people who run this place. I often wonder how they handle life outside in the real world. Note to potential students: keep in mind that these other reviews are for their shows, not their classes. Do not let the high ratings fool you about the quality of the classes. There are plenty of other options in Austin. Save your $250.
