For the past ten years, almost every Saturday night at the Hideout Theatre has been Maestro -- elimination-style improv comedy. This January, for the first time ever, the creator of Maestro (and wide swaths of modern improv comedy and theater) is visiting Austin. Fifteen of Austin's virtuoso improvisers will play games and scenes which are scored by you the audience. After each round we eliminate the low-scoring players, the show gets better and by the end one player emerges victorious from the climax of hilarity. The winner is awarded the title of Maestro and presented the coveted Canadian five-dollar bill. We're testing the limits of improv, exploring the theater and comedy that amuses and inspires you.Come see the improv that Austin is raving about with the guy that started it all.

      This was fun. People can have fun. Improv is fun. Maestro Improv Comedy with Keith Johnstone was more fun than is legally allowed... but hey, this is Austin.. we don't care.... we laughed our arses... Expand

      This was fun. People can have fun. Improv is fun. Maestro Improv Comedy with Keith Johnstone was more fun than is legally allowed... but hey, this is Austin.. we don't care.... we laughed our arses off. ANYONE who has ever experienced a Maestro Improv Comedy evening at The Hideout will be sure to enjoy the larger venue in The Rollins Theater at the Long Center. There were more people having more fun laughing at the spontaneous acting, singing, and crazy carryings-on of the actors. Next time maybe the lonesome readers of this review will get off their couches and get their butts to The Long Center and REALLY have a great evening of FUN. Collapse
