We live and breathe improv. We are improv.

We are Downtown Austin.

617 Congress Avenue, to be exact.
The southeast corner of 7th and Congress, to be more exact.
latitude: 30.268567, longitude: -97.74216, to be stupidly exact.

We’ve been downtown for all of our life. We’re one of the few options for live entertainment downtown that doesn’t involve drinking until you pass out, or destroying your eardrums with mind-numbingly loud music.

We are Explorers.

By its very nature, improv is funny.
And our shows are hilarious and delightful. Just ask our thousands of patrons.
But improv can be so much more.
Evocative. Sad. Cathartic. Shocking. MOVING.
It is our mission to explore what improv is capable of, in every way we can think of.

Curious? Confused? Excited?

Come check us out to really know what we’re all about. We have shows every single weekend, all year long.
