What people are saying

  • “At Kickstand you can see some of the city’s weirdest, most endearing standups and improvisers doing what they do best, in a venue whose strange, scrappy hospitality has never quite been matched."

    — Megan Burbank Willamette Week

  • “One of the Eight Great Improv Theaters from Around the Country”

    — Graham Techler, Paste Magazine

  • “Kickstand is amazing and is making my life better! All of the instructors I have had are caring people. They show it in different ways, but they've each been wonderfully supportive and kind.”

    — Cat H.Student + Performer
