Excused Absence is Austin’s go-to youth program for comedy training, all ages shows and performance opportunities.
Classes, camps, shows and abundant performance opportunities are available year round at ColdTowne Theater through their youth program, Excused Absence Comedy. With a faculty that includes some of Austin’s most beloved improvisers and Teaching Artists, ExAb provides an advanced level of training and abundant opportunities to perform and attend live comedy.
Camps: Online or Onsite
Excused Absence Comedy Camps are a concentrated dose of funny for young comics of all levels. Taught by some of Austin’s most experienced and respected performers, our camps are a positive, creative way to hone your comedy chops while making friends and having fun.
Important Change: Our summer 2020 camps have moved to the Spider House Ballroom to allow for far greater social distancing and access to outside performance & play space.
Classes: Online or Onsite
Improv and Sketch Online Classes allow students to build comedic timing, flexibility and communication from the safety of home.
During the Fall & Spring, ExAb offers weekly Improv classes at ColdTowne Theater for Kids and Teens. Fall classes usually begin in late September.
