Austin Improv

Where is it and how much does it cost?

When I taught improv in Cairo, I had to change "Hey, Fred Schneider" to something else. I asked the class if there was a famous Egyptian pop culture figure whose voice everyone could do. So over there, the game is "Ya Adel Adham, bti3mal eeh?"

Also throw Matt Holmes into the list of people who do shows with random audience members with no improv experience.

Has anyone else had the opportunity to take Mark Grenier's workshop "Just Deal With It"? The idea is that many people start out doing improv in a controlled environment, where teachers and coaches often stop scenes and side-coach and make people adhere to "the rules". So we don't always get the ...

Hi,

I have taught several improv classes to different age groups, but starting in a few weeks I will be teaching improv having for the first time the goal of developing a play (which will have improvised components, I'm sure, but will have a set plot and structure) that the students will perform ...

Hey, all. I'd love to play this weekend if you'll have me.

The subject line kind of says it all. I'm looking for a local jeweler who will sell me a nice, average-priced ring for my hopefully-soon-to-be fiancee. I know next to nothing about this stuff so does anybody know of someone who would make this as painless and as fair as possible? Thanks so much!

I'd like to play.

Wow, you weren't kidding! Thanks for the tip.

Hey, those of you who are Austin transplants from other cities, what is a good bar that has NFL Sunday Ticket for watching out-of-town games? Gotta see my Ravens take down the Squealers on Sunday (and anyone is welcome to join me).

I don't want to wear out my welcome but I would love to play again if there's room. I really enjoyed meeting y'all last time.

Hi I just moved here and this sounds like a fun time. I read the sticky, still not sure what venue it's at and what time call is. Thanks!

We met albeit briefly during PGraph's East Coast tour (I actually still have the poster on my wall). You guys were awesome and unfortunately you weren't performing the last time I was in Austin. I will be there this weekend though, do you have a show?

How could I forget you, Jill? I made you scrambled eggs with broccoli that one time. Always good to hear from you.

What's shaking, Austin?

I've crossed paths with some of you, I'm sure. I'm Ethan Cooper, and I've been a performer and some-time teacher and director for 5+ years with the Baltimore Improv Group. I've done longform and shortform and a buncha side projects. This fall I am moving to Austin to pursue ...
