The 8th annual Waffle Fest is a three-day improv comedy festival featuring the best of the Austin Improv scene, with ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT waffles at every show!

Improv comedy in Austin is growing exponentially, and it can be hard to get a handle on everything that’s going on.

Fortunately, Waffle Fest features 26 different troupes from all the improv camps in town, all united under one sticky banner of free waffles.

And it’s not just waffles, either. Included in the admission is all the toppings you could want- butter, whipped cream, strawberries, syrup, chocolate sauce, and Nutella.

Waffle Fest is also expanding this year, with shows running simultaneously in the upstairs and downstairs theaters at the Hideout on Friday and Saturday.

Plus, on Saturday at 8PM, there will be a waffle eating contest for the bold of heart and big of stomach.

With every passing month, the Austin improv scene is gaining more national attention and respect. Come find out why. If you’re already hooked on improv, this is a great chance to catch your favorite troupes.  If you’re new to the scene, come check out a show or two and figure out what you like.
