Las Vegas Improv Comedy
Classes and Workshops
We are excited to be offering in-person improv classes in Las Vegas, NV after taking over a year off! Online/virtual classes and training will be offered as requested as well.
Are you not necessarily a performer, or are you new to improvisation? Our classes focus less on improvisation as a performance art, and more as a tool to build self confidence and life skills. They still have their roots in improv comedy, but we focus a little less on the scene work and short-form or long-form and a little more on personal growth and development. We still play classic improv games and exercises and have a ton of laughs. Our instructors have over 25 years of experience and love beginners. We have a knack for tailoring each class to a wide variety of students.

Why Take a Class with Vegas Improv Power?
I joined this improv class to get more comfortable speaking my mind and feeling more confident in roles that require public speaking and leading meetings. What I didn’t expect was how much it helped me get out of my own head for 2.5 hours each week. Every class was full of laughter, and I always left feeling great afterward. I met an awesome group of people with genuinely good vibes, which made the experience even better. PS — doing this with my wife turned it into an unexpectedly great date night.
Signed up to help me improve my public speaking and networking ability. I also wanted to help with the overthinking I have in social situations. The class helped me and so much more. The exercises were great, the class took me out of my comfort zone but did it in a very supportive way, I had a great time each class, and met an awesome group of people. You will not be disappointed.
Definitely had a blast and would recommend this class to anyone interested in getting out of their comfort zone and reconnecting with their sense of play.
Great experience!!!!!!!!!! Ryan is such an awesome improv class teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theatre is neither my work nor my hobby. It's so random that I signed up for these classes. I did because I wanted to do something different and something outside my comfort zone. What I got out of it was meeting a ton of cool people, ton of laughter, wholesome joy and I learned a bit more about who I am and how my weird mind works. Don't over think it! Just sign up for the class. You will be glad that you did.
Great class! This is my third time around, a feel like I've gotten everything I wanted from taking each of these classes. Ryan is a very good, supportive instructor and most of my classmates have been highly supportive as well, and also a lot of fun to act with. I've also found the social environment quite positive, and I feel like learning improv has helped me cope with real life, which was my main goal. Like they say, the world is a stage, and now I'm ready to move on to the big one!
I have taken their course twice now. Each class has been more than fun. The games we play bring out the child in you including a lot of laughing and...
Going to a VIP drop-in (and then the 6-week Saturday class!) was genuinely one of the best things I’ve done for myself in the last decade. Natalie is an incredible instructor—warm, fun, and effortlessly supportive. I can’t imagine learning improv from anyone else. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, treat yourself. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Had an absolute blast, the time flew by, and had such a laugh. Highly recommend, after this experience, it's given me the confidence to sign up for a six-week improvement class. It's a great outlet for those of us who are creative yet are stuck in drab suburbia! My advice: "Get out and invest in improve...It is medicine for the mind!"
My first time ever trying improv and it was great. I highly recommended trying it out.
I had a really good time Natalie had brought the energy to the class making it welcoming and fun

Frequently Asked Questions
What is improv comedy?
Improv is the art form of performing, acting, or even speaking without a script. In theatre or comedy, it can refer to both the performance art itself, or the training tools and exercises that it encompasses.
What do you do in an improv class?
A typical improv class starts with a group introduction and check in. From there, you'll run through various exercises, games, and scenes, often followed by a discussion on what happened, and why.
What do you learn in an improv class?
You may end up learning almost anything! In general, you work on communication (including non-verbal), self confidence, listening, empathy, trust, adaptability, how to say yes, how to fail, teamwork, and just how to be a better human.
Can you learn improv online?
Absolutely! While it is different than in-person classes, we've embraced the transition to virtual classes. You still have the same connections, opportunities to try new things, and to grow as a student and as a person.

Benefits of Taking an Improv Class
Make new friends
One of the best things about any group class or workshop is the friendships made. This is even more true with improv since we are actively communicating, being open, and vulnerable together.
Gain communication skills
“The techniques of the theater are the techniques of communicating.” ~ Viola Spolin. We will forever work on the essential soft skills together that are so important in life.
Practice being present
In today’s world, and even more so with how much of our lives are spent online these days, it’s difficult to remain focused and present. Practicing focus and being present is essential.
Expand your adaptability
Our brains are overloaded with too much information, let alone our anxieties and worries. Once we are present, we also work on being flexible in the moment with what’s in front of us.
Learn to listen actively
How often do you listen just to respond? It is freeing to be given the opportunity to listen for listening’s sake. Plus, it’s a great gift to support someone by truly hearing what they have to say.
Remember how to play
As adults, we often lose the ability to simply play and have fun. But it can have so many benefits to our overall health. And science shows that adults benefit from finding time to play! Our intro classes get us back in the practice of playing right from the get go.
How Else Can Improv Help Me?
Improv for Business
Of course, this is one of our favorite areas to talk about since we firmly believe that every skill practiced in an improv workshop can level you up in many facets of the workplace. Gaining experience in creativity, storytelling, and other improv basics through theatre games makes you a better team member, leader, and of course, the fun one at the office party!
Boost Your Creative Writing
Whether you're a fan of sketch comedy, love to write fun blog posts on the weekend, or want to improve your character development for your next bestseller, taking an online class can help bust through all types of creative blocks. Sketch writing and improv skills often go hand in hand as they utilize many of the same principles and patterns.
Jumpstart Other Theater Endeavors
Maybe you're an actor who needs to be more in the moment. Or perhaps your character monologues need to be less monotone. Improv training can help, and a good instructor can help you wherever you are in your journey!
Fans of comedy may find their way into improv games and exercises hoping to sharpen their timing and expand their knowledge. While we may not offer a traditional comedy class and won't go over the structure of jokes (though sketch comedy writing overlaps quite a bit!), we always work on the skills and ideas that allow the funny to happen naturally.
Or, if you're like us and aren't leaving your improv bubble, there is always more to learn. Fans of longform improvisation may enjoy some of the short form games we play. If you want to perform better improv scenes, take our course on character creation, emotion, or any of the other advanced improv classes that come up in the future.
