American Improv - English Improvisational Theater in Vienna, Austria

Ich war bei zwei Shows dabei, Not Harry Potter und American Improv Late Show (4-3-2-1) und es war sehr unterhaltsam und lustig.

A fantastic place to learn improv. Peter is an exemplary teacher, mixing his big experience in the trade with his expertise in human behaviour, making his lesson true in depth dives in what improv really is about. The classes are of perfect size, and the fully welcoming environment makes it easy to start even for complete beginners.

I did the 101 classes with Peter and continued with 201. It is so much fun! Lovely community, a save environment and high quality classes where you learn improv in a structured and playful way! Highly recommended.

Ich war vor ein paar Wochen bei der Not Harry Potter" Show und sie war fantastisch! Die DarstellerInnen waren sehr talentiert und das Show-Format abwechslungsreich. Ein Muss für jeden Harry Potter und für jeden Improv-Fan!"

This is a great way to take some time out of a hectic schedule and to learn something new! I've enjoyed every single one of the classes with clear instruction, lots of fun practice, an incredible community, and a class with bright, kind, and funny people. I've been able to take some of those new learned skills and apply it back to my work and can't wait to continue on to the next course in the fall! Peter is a fabulous and encouraging teacher.

When I first signed up for the class I didn't know what to expect, but I never expected this experience. Improv theater is the most fun way I have ever gotten out of my comfort zone. All the people I've met since my first classes have been nothing short to funny, kind and inspiring. I can recommend everyone to sign up and if that's not the right thing to do for you come and watch the shows, which are such a unique entertainment. I am happy and thankful we have this type of community in Vienna!

After a decade of participating in plenty of company team-building events, I can confidently say: nothing is more effective (let alone fun) than having Peter and his crew over for an improv theater workshop. From the biggest extroverts to the shyest introverts: everyone had a blast! I had to stop counting how many colleagues came to me afterward to tell me how this was the best team-building event they ever had. This is even more impressive, considering that we are a global, fully remote company and many people saw each other for the very first time during our American Improv workshop.What amazes me the most, though, is Peter’s unique ability to create a safe and inclusive environment, where everybody is deeply involved and actively participating. It only took him and his colleague a matter of hours to turn what was basically a bunch of strangers into a committed team - all while giving us the time of our lives. It was the perfect start for what has been a memorable company get together and just wonderful to witness how the dynamic evolved over the course of the workshop; how people got more and more comfortable every minute, dared to take chances, and to try out many new things (they never thought they would do in front of a group, e.g. singing ;-).Thanks a lot, Peter, for making us grow as a team – and for setting the bar immensely high for every company event that’s yet to come!

I did the 101 class with Peter and it was so much fun! The class is perfect for someone who wants to meet new people and try something new in a safe comfortable space. I did also attend few shows on Monday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will take up 201 class and would definitely recommend trying it out!

I did the 101 course with Anna. As an introvert, deciding to take the course was one of the scariest things I did this spring. However, all of my apprehensions were whisked away once the first session started. Anna made us all feel at ease from the very beginning. I wouldn’t have believed stepping out of your comfort zone could be such a pleasant experience. Each session challenged us in different ways. The group dynamic was great from the very beginning. You quickly learn how to pay closer attention to others and —probably more importantly — how to take yourself less seriously. I recommend the 101 course to anyone who wants to practice being more attuned to others, to anyone who wants to explore their more playful side or to anyone who simply wants to spend a few hilarious weeknights with others who enjoy challenging themselves. Also: you haven’t really lived until you tried the “bunny bunny” warm-up game with these guys. Thanks Anna, thanks Peter!

They are the funniest English-American improv comedy group I have EVER SEEN (in Vienna). I went to a show here, and ended up as a bridesmaid to a French woman I had never met before. 10/10 best evening of my life! (Try my beautiful date cookie with semolina)
