Austin Improv

The Victims are a four-man improv team. We operate out of Dallas, Texas and have performed regularly at The Pocket Sandwich Theatre, Undermain Theatre, Dallas Hub Theater, Plano Community Theatre, and Stone Street Theatre. We performed at the 2007 Dallas Fringe Festival, and won the festival's award for Best Audience. This past year's highlights have included performances at The Broadway Comedy Club in New York, and the 2007 Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin, TX.

Curtis Needs a Ride performs a type of long form. We use games interchanged with scenes to present a long form that is both entertaining and visually stimulating.

Curtis Needs a Ride was started in 2007. The four members of the group met each other through improvising on the collegiate level at TCU in Senseless Acts of Comedy. After desiring to perform a longer form on another level, Austin, Grayson, Michael and Steve assembled a traveling improv troupe that would perform in venues across the globe. Although primarily performing on a monthly basis in Austin in the Hideout, CNAR has performed in Fort Worth and the country of Guatemala. CNAR has also worked in teams in other mediums. Recently, CNAR was in the Dallas 24 Hour Film Race by the Video Association of Dallas. They took home the third place prize in the Futurevision division. CNAR may only be a year old, but with a mixture of talent, energy, and passion, these young men look to pursue comedic careers as a troupe.
