Austin Improv Classes and Comedy Shows! The New Movement 1819 Rosewood Avenue
The Megaphone Marathons are upon us. For the next three weekends we’ll be dashing around to and from Austin-Dallas-New Orleans for our first ever comedy marathon! Spanning three cities and three weekends, the Megaphone Marathons feature talent from our megaphone hometowns as well as from all over the country. This weekend we are kick-starting the marathon in Dallas at our sister theater Dallas Comedy House!
We do shows Wednesday – Saturday nights, check out our full schedule for details.
The Austin Chronicle called us “a gem of focused education“. The reason why our shows sell out and our audiences are a sea of laughter is because our students and performers have been trained to be the funniest and the smartest people around. We are proud to offer a comprehensive syllabus which helps our students find their distinct comedic voices and teaches them our unique improv language.

Parking
It’s so easy to park at The New Movement. Both Rosewood and Chicon have street parking for miles (literally, we think). Get the spot right in front of the theater doors and you get bragging rights all class long.
Cap Metro
Good for you, fellow bus rider! If you’re coming from downtown or east of Airport Blvd., the #2 will land you right in front of us. If you’re coming from anywhere else, chances are you’re near a #21, #22 or #320, and all of those will do the same (the 320 includes a 5 minute walk but walking is cool, right?).
Bicycle
We’ve got your back, bike rider. Chicon recently added bike lanes and the Nubian Queen Lola has some pretty fantastic bike racks out front.
