About this event

Event lasts 3 days 7 hours

This is it. The last week of break and maybe the hottest month of the year.*

Why not look for the comedy in that? Low pressure and fun, we collaborate using essential Improv techniques, squeezing the final funny out of summer.

Students are divided by age & focus for classes and most activities. Extended-care options are available at check-out. Not sure if you'll need it? It's ok to add it during the week of camp. Students should bring a snack, lunch, and a water bottle. Break times may include outdoor time if the weather allows. Performance on Thursday, August 14 at 3 pm. $325.

Excused Absence Comedy for Youth

Excused Absence Comedy is the youth program at ColdTowne Theater. We offer improv, sketch and stand up training to kids and teens in Austin, Texas and beyond. Taught by some of Austin's best comics, our year round classes, house troupes, and camps invite a diverse group of young people to hone their comedy skills while benefitting from the social and emotional tools improv provides.

We produce two weekly, all ages shows year round. What's the Story Steve is a Saturday morning improv show, designed for for families and performed by a skilled, adult cast. Excused Absence Night is every Sunday at 5 and includes both youth and adult acts to allow youth to see both peers and pro's perform. The show ends in an improv jam, for those who wish to get up and give it a try!

Excused Absence Fest is a yearly all ages comedy festival that features two days of live performance and workshops. It's the only youth centered comedy festival in Texas!
