Do you enjoy the hit TV show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? Now you can learn improv and put YOUR funny on at our drop-in improv comedy class, every Wednesday night in North Scottsdale! Here’s what some of our students say:
All classes are conducted in a fun, safe environment by Joe Hammer, founder of The Outcasters and author of The Improv Edge. The Outcasters training includes both long and short form improv. Classes are open to anyone 18 or older. (Youth classes here).
For just 10 bucks our drop-in class will get you two and a half hours of warm ups, games and improv comedy coaching. There is no prior acting or comedy experience required to start training with us; we’ll teach you everything you need to know! Should they desire, students who continue in our training classes are eligible to participate in our performance ensembles. Classes are from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. We start and end on time. Doors close at 6:05, so don’t be late! Late arrivals are disruptive to the class so please plan on arriving at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Student audio or video recording of class activity is not permitted.
Classes are held at 8360 East Raintree Drive in N. Scottsdale. (2 minutes off the 101, Raintree exit). Please visit our FAQ Page for additional class details.
FYI, if you desire drinks or munchies after class, we are within walking distance of K. O’Donnell’s, Fired Pie and Firehouse Subs!
We look forward to seeing you and making stuff up!
ACTORS looking to add improvisation skills to their toolbox. You’ll discover spontaneity that assures better auditions and more callbacks!
IMPROVISERS desiring a detail-centered approach to improv training that’s real, honest, grounded and FUN!
SPEAKERS who want to add form punch and confidence to their presentations.
BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS for team building, improved active listening and better communication skills.
ANYONE who is looking to be better at “thinking on their feet,” react and adapt to unexpected circumstances and stretch their sense of humor with like-minded people in a safe, fun environment!
You’ll discover that you don’t have to be (or invent something) to be funny, thus stripping away the pressure to be funny. Our classes are appropriate for both those new to improv as well as seasoned performers looking for a new approach.

“Improv class is one of the rare occasions in modern life where one is explicitly given permission to live entirely in the now. Improv is an invitation to forget about the future and be totally in the present.”
“Improv can be so many things – a vehicle for personal growth, a way to practice mindfulness, an opportunity to meet cool new people, a safe way to play, a tool for developing the skills of spontaneity and acceptance – but the bottom line is… it’s fun!”
