The Hideout Theatre

617 Congress Ave. (map) (512) H-I-D-E-O-U-T

We are in the business of improvisational theatre. We make up all our
comedy, plays, and sketches on the spot (unless otherwise noted). Short
form, long form, Chicago-Style, NY-Style, CA-Style, Austin-Style – we
do it all (especially Austin-Style, it’s our specialty).

We host and produce improv shows Thursday through Sunday. For some of
the shows, we invite independent groups to perform (everything you see
on Thursday night, for instance) and some of the shows we personally
produce (everything you see on Saturday night, for instance).

Troupe – usually means a group of people who work together
independently of any theater to create their own style and show. The
troupes are usually made up of improvisers who have taken classes, here
or elsewhere, and enjoy working and performing together. We have a few
weekly troupes, like Parallelogramophonograph (who perform every Friday
at 10pm), and Firth&Arjet (who perform every Thursday at 10pm).

Show – usually means a produced production with a curated director,
cast, and crew. A good example is our Saturday night 8pm Mainstage
shows. Every Saturday at 8pm you can see a full-scale improvised
production. This is the bread and butter of the work we do, so we
definitely recommend you checking this out.

      Because of its downtown location on Congress Avenue, it's a popular spot for comedy shows throughout the year, including weekend kid-friendly shows, the improv all-star Maestro shows, and festival spotlights during Out of Bounds and SXSW. more at CultureMap Austin

      The Hideout is cool! Nice place to hang, watch people, get a cup of coffee or more and listen to some good acts.
