Weekly Improv Comedy Shows for Families

Featuring a fantastic adult cast of Improvisers, performances shift easily between entertaining kids and their adults, emphasizing the joyful “Yes, and!” of Improv. High-energy, interactive and so much fun. Audience members provide the ideas and characters that our actors bring to life.

  • ColdTowne is located at 1700 East 2nd Street. Free Parking is available.
  • Though these shows can be enjoyed by all ages, the target audience is kids 4 to 10.
  • Tickets are $5, available at the door or in advance here.
HIGH ENERGY, INTERACTIVE THEATRE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

About ExAb at ColdTowne Youth Shows:

We really, really love Improv and because of that, we want to share it with people in the most welcoming and entertaining way possible. These shows are interactive, but no one is required to volunteer or take part. Kids are on stage frequently, but the adult cast guides the show to create a fast paced, hilarious comedy that entertains at multiple levels. Whether you are a life long comedy fan hoping to share this work with your kids or a parent looking for a creative experience to share with your child, we look forward to seeing you at the theater. It’s always a very good time.

😋 @simplemills makes our favorite crackers! I was so excited to see some new flavors on my last trip to Costco.

🍋 They have a new sweet cracker in lemon flavor that is so delicious!
🍯 My kids love the sweet cracker in honey cinnamon to dunk in milk for an after school snack.
🧀 The Farmhouse Cheddar is amazing I accidentally ate almost an entire bag the other day 🫣 when I was hungry before dinner. These are the perfect snack to keep in your car for when your kids say they’re hungry but you forgot to bring a snack!
🤌🏻 I always buy the plain crackers for my kids’ lunches because they love homemade lunchables but I want to make them a little healthier. I use Simple Mills crackers because the ingredients are much cleaner (almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds) along with some deli meat and cheese.

👀 Look for these on your next trip to Costco in the cracker aisle! #austinhummingbirds #simplemills #partnership

📸 Say cheese! We had the absolute best time getting the bros’ portraits taken with @timeless.tots @kacietennetphotography 📷

@kacietennetphotography is an amazing photographer who is incredible at capturing kids’ true personalities and making them shine on camera!
I really love how she encourages such a fun and lighthearted atmosphere. My youngest had a ball trying to make his brothers laugh the whole time.

Her portraits are like nothing else out there! They are just so classic and clean while feeling true and authentic at the same time. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Check out @timeless.tots and @kacietennetphotography to book your session. She can do newborn sessions all the way to big kids and families! Now is the time to book your fall photos for those holiday cards! She even has fall mini sessions available now!

🤩 Best hidden gem in Austin! @oakwoodbbq has the best food and shady beer garden patio that’s perfect for families! Bring the kids, let them run around and play!

🥪The Gobbler was the best turkey I’ve ever had in my life. 🤤 My teenagers loved the nachos. Everything was so delicious! Don’t forget to add the homemade pickles and pickled onions to each bite. 🤌
