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.

I signed up for this improv class to get more comfortable speaking in front of an audience, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Ryan creates an environment that feels supportive, challenging, and genuinely fun. Each week I found myself looking forward to class more and more. The games push you in the right ways — they’re challenging, but exciting — and Ryan does a great job helping everyone get comfortable with failing, learning, and trying again. Because of that, I’ve noticed a real boost in my confidence and presence, both in class and outside of it. If you’re looking to grow, laugh, and surprise yourself with what you’re capable of, Ryan’s improv class is a fantastic place to do it.

If you are reading this review you are doing the right thing This is one place where you truly don’t have to hold back. In fact, Ryan encourages it. Be yourself, say whatever comes to mind, and don’t worry about whether it makes sense at first just let it out. This class completely changed the way I communicate and think. There are no wrong answers, no right answers, no judgment—just a fun and engaging environment where everything somehow comes together in the end. And the end is fun trust me it is Ryan is an amazing teacher. No matter what we said or how silly we got, he remained calm, patient, and encouraging. He created a space where everyone felt comfortable being themselves and sharing their ideas. If you’re looking for a fun evening, a chance to meet new people, expand your vocabulary, build confidence, and explore new ways of thinking, I strongly recommend this class. Every penny spent was worth it and then some If you’re reading this review, go ahead and sign up. You won’t need to read any other reviews after this one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just finished my 3rd class with LVIP and I can't say enough good things. I was super anxious for my first class but the warm, welcoming, and encouraging environment that Natalie creates put me at ease from that point on. It has helped me build muscles in resilience and tolerance for discomfort, thinking on my feet, and overall mindset for trying new things. The exercises we do before break are short, fun, and focused, so I don't find much time to overthink what I could've done differently. The exercises after the break are a bit longer and challenging in a way that is still fun and digestible. I have never laughed so much in a class in my life. I love being surprised by (and surprising myself!) with the words that come out of our mouths unexpectedly in the moment. When I watch scenes being done by others (who by the end of every class I consider my friends), I feel inspired and proud. My spirit is always lifted by this session of learning and laughter going into the weekend. I believe I am a better, more vibrant communicator as a result of this class. I tell everyone I know about this program! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to Natalie and Ryan for making this possible. I really am undeniably changed. :) If you're on the fence: yes, it's vulnerable, but aren't all the best things in life? You'll laugh and connect with other humans in the best way. Go make magic together.

Absolutely loved Ryan’s improv workshop! I signed up to improve networking skills to feel better at professional events, and it helped with so much more than that! It’s a community builder, a friendships maker, and a perfect place to just be yourself, mess up and have lots of laughs along the way. Highly recommended!

The group was full of great people, and it was awesome getting to meet and laugh with everyone each week. Whether you’re completely new to improv or have some experience, I’d highly recommend this class. Ryan is a fantastic teacher who keeps things engaging, encouraging, and entertaining.

Tonight I just graduated from the most awesome improv class after six weeks. Talk about the time of your life….. Well, this is it! Our instructor Ryan is just awesome. He is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home and Instantly he has activities that you get to know one another in such a calm way. The exercises that we do are so funny and it seemed by the end of the first week. We were all excited already. I will have to say That Ryan is probably the best improving instructor that I’ve ever come across in all of my life. He Is genuine and sincere and over the top funny! I don’t know where he comes up with all these ideas, but he’s definitely got it all together and is an exceptional teacher. We joined this class and hoping to meet people and get out to do something fun and we have found that we have formed a community and all of us have connected in someway shape or form. Our little group already has plans to do something Together next week. If you are single or a couple or new in town or somebody who just wants to mingle with others Then this is for you!

I had been wanting to dabble in improv for a while and finally jumped in- it’s everything I thought it would be and more! It’s fun, it keeps you moving, laughing and guessing. You never know what’s about to happen and that’s the point! Ryan is an excellent guide and champions the participants, even when it goes a direction he didn’t even see coming. If you want to explore your ability to be in the moment, I highly recommend Vegas Improv Power!

These classes truly are for everyone. I’ve taken two so far and day 1, I was very quickly reminded just how much fun it is to break out of a shell. I’ve done improv before, but we had plenty of first timers, so everyone is represented. It’s really easy now a days to get stuck in a routine and this a good way to break that routine every week. Natalie’s a great teacher and will get you up and moving. Try it out.

It was such a fun time, got me out of my shell quite a bit, and gave me a lot of experience with what to do when I don't know what to say. Highly recommend for anyone interested in just getting better at communication or just looking for some fun with friends. After the last class I went home and signed up for the next six week session. P.S. Ryan was/is great!

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.

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.

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!

Natalie is a true professional with real improv chops and she prepared a simple, yet easily accessible class for my small sales group.

Joining this improv class has been one of the most meaningful and transformative steps I’ve taken for myself. As someone who finds comfort in being introverted and often struggles with how to interact socially, this class became a safe and empowering space for me to grow and challenge myself. At first, I felt completely out of place and incredibly awkward. I was in my head a lot, unsure of how to connect or just let go. But I quickly realized, I wasn’t alone. Everyone in the class, including our amazing teacher Ryan, created such a welcoming and encouraging environment. Seeing others show up for themselves helped inspire me to do the same. Improv gave me a new perspective on myself, how I show up, where I hold back, and how freeing it can be to just play and be in the moment. Ryan’s guidance helped me understand that it’s okay to mess up, to freeze, to say something that feels off. That’s where growth happens. And surprisingly, some of those moments brought out real parts of me I hadn’t seen before. By the second session, I already felt a shift. I still get in my head sometimes, but I’m noticing the difference. I’m speaking up more, laughing more, and allowing myself to just enjoy the process. It’s been an incredible tool for building confidence, learning to connect with others, and feeling more at ease socially. If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and encouraging space to step out of your comfort zone, I highly recommend this class. It’s a great investment in yourself, to grow, to meet new people, and to learn how to simply be present and enjoy the moment. Cant wait for my 3rd session to be in Vegas Improv Power to see what else will evolve from within! Trust and Bet on yourself, its worth it!

Vegas Improv Power delivered an incredible experience for our team! From the start, they were incredibly accommodating, working within our budget to provide a high-quality, engaging workshop. The session was not only fun and energizing but also full of practical takeaways that we can apply directly to our work. Ryan created a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone felt comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone. By the end, we felt more connected as a team and left with a new perspective on communication, adaptability, and collaboration. Highly recommend for any organization looking to strengthen teamwork in a fun and meaningful way!

I started a second career in sales recently, but it had been a few years since I actually did a live sales presentation. I wanted to work on my presentation skills and found Vegas Improv Power. Ryan's "Yes, And" class blew away my expectations. As a guy who typically sticks to sports and video games, I was nervous walking in, but the environment was zero pressure. No forced comedy or spotlight moments - just practical exercises that actually improved my client interactions. What stands out is how Ryan teaches improv for real-life situations. The class was filled with other local Las Vegas professionals (not theater types), all looking to build confidence and communication skills. Six weeks later, I feel more confident and my sales pitches flow naturally and I'm way more comfortable with unexpected client questions. Plus, I made a few new friends. If you're considering trying something new that actually delivers results, Vegas Improv Power is worth every penny. Best decision I've made for my business growth this year.

I took my first ever improv class taught by Natalie and it was an absolute blast! Natalie was the philosophical, improv sherpa that helped me, an introvert, navigate this new terrain that is improv. Her energy and enthusiasm was as infectious as COVID. I know I looked stupid and said some stupid stuff, but Natalie would focus on the positive aspects of what I did, she created a safe place to fail miserably. Her veteran experience at Second City completely shows when she teaches/coaches and when you improvise with her. I am eternally grateful I had Natalie as teacher for my first improv class, but I don't think my wife will be as grateful, as I found another thing to geek out/love/obsess over.

As a professional performer in Las Vegas, it is important to find the teachers that will facilitate continued play and productive growth. Natalie is an authentic and highly skilled trainer who excels at balancing new talent and experienced practitioners within a single group. Natalie’s class was a fantastic refresher and I picked up several new nuggets of wisdom. Natalie is a master at processing exercises for just the right amount of time to integrate the learning, facilitate ensemble building, and refract the experiences into life outside class.

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.

What are the basic rules of improv?

There are no rules! But if you must...
  1. Say yes.
  2. Say yes, and.
  3. Fail, hard.
  4. Listen.
  5. React!
  6. Play!!

How do you get better at improv?

  1. Practice, a lot. Repetition helps!
  2. Fail, a lot. Learn to not fear failure.
  3. Make your scene partner look like a poet, artist, & genius.
  4. Learn about yourself as a performer, & as a person.
  5. Embrace everything - the good, the bad, and everything in between.
  6. Stop trying to get better! You are perfect.

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.
