Overview

Mission

Promoting the performing arts to the community and teaching performance art to community participants. All Out Comedy's mission is to provide an inclusive space for the community to learn communication and performance skills. We offer improv classes to the public, where they can learn communication, active listening, confidence, and empathy. We have BIPOC and lower income scholarships so that we can reflect the community that we live in. All Out Comedy Theater offers a free weekly interactive improv show, where anyone can try out performance skills or just watch. This free improv also provides an inclusive supportive space where everyone is welcome and can meet new friends and support in our community. The supplemental events are shows on the weekend where we perform live comedy theater with professional artists from all over the bay area. Shows are catered to adults and families so that we can all share the joy of laughter with all.
