All Out Comedy Theater

Fantastic improv classes & great community! The teachers are all different, but all excellent. I've taken at least part of 8 classes, and have had nothing but great experiences. You will learn not only how to improv, but also improve yourself as a human.Also, to anyone who has experienced sexism, racism, homophobia, or ableism in theater: not here, you won't. At least I think. I have never seen it. (And have been at theaters where this wasn't the case -- here's looking at you, Pan.)

I've taken improv levels 2-4 (currently in level 5 with the director of All Out) and have truly loved every moment of the learning experience. What makes All Out particularly wonderful is the inclusivity and safe space culture they foster (my level one experience at an improv place in nyc was far from this culture), the richness and thoughtfulness in the curriculum, and the improv forms and games they offer. This non profit is led by a seasoned af improv womxn who really sets the stage for why the All Out culture feels so welcoming for all backgrounds including folks whose gender, race, class, sexuality is the minority. Speaking of class-consciousness, they offer options to make taking classes accessible and once you are a student, you can hit up as many shows as possible for free. I plan to take the musical improv series beginning this summer. Location is nice and central and not too far from Bart and even First Fridays. Classes are throughout the week so additional accessibility for those with varying work schedules. Improv is arguably a special and needed lifeline to our authentic selves (like hella creative and playful activities really) and add a crap ton of relational connection, generosity, and laughter couched within openness and safety makes all of my experiences at All Out so dang sweet. Esp shout out to Colleen, Adrian, Tony, and Connor (and everyone I got to practice and play with)!

They use suggestions from the audience to develop on the spot comedy the way Robin Williams and John Belushi used to do it. The major difference is that fortunately the performers at this theater are expected to have longer life spans.

We went to this club for the first time and were very impressed. The front desk person was welcoming and helpful. We got yummy snacks and drinks before the show. The group of folks performing were fantastic; they took a story from an audience member and improvised lots of skits and scenes, all hilarious. I'm converted to improv comedy; so much more entertaining and enjoyable than watching someone rehearse Jokes.

Amazing little community theater nonprofit with great classes, shows, and free events.

FANTASTIC! This has been a phenomenal experience, I have felt supported and cared for, everyone there is kind and the sense of play is alive and well!! From level one to now level four I have always been supported and instruction is excellent.

Wonderful improv teachers and community. Sign up and you will not regret it. Really.

I've been taking improv classes here and I can't emphasize how much I look forward to it every week. Colleen is so supportive and is a ray of sunshine with infectious energy. She teaches us so much about the different elements of improv and there is a notable difference in the quality of our scenes and our confidence as a result of Colleen's teaching style. I felt 100% comfortable to try new things and am so grateful that I found this improv class in a sea of classes that spend too much time on zip zap zops! :)

World got you down? Do you like to laugh? Check out All Out Comedy Theater! You'll be glad you did!

What a terrific show!!!! I laughed my butt off! Went to the improv show tonight and it was a raucous good time. it started with some improv from folks who are newer to improv then ended with a group of professionals. I laughed so hard the whole time. What an amazing way to spend an evening and then we still had time after to go out for a drink and hang with friends. You do NOT want to miss a show.I've also taken classes with this organization and it was so affirming, fun, engaging, and challenging. The people here are amazing and welcoming. You aren't going to find a more sincere, giving, and supportive group of people. Give this place a try.
