“…sharp, focused, and riotously funny!”- The Austin Chronicle
*Winner of an Austin Critic’s Table Award*
At 5:00pm on Friday June 6, 2025, eight brave and foolish improvisers will take the Hideout stage and stay there until 5pm on Sunday the 8th, performing 48 STRAIGHT HOURS of improvisational theatre and comedy without sleep or respite.
Each hour of the marathon will be a separate show, featuring classic and upcoming Hideout formats, one-off shows never to be seen again, and guest troupes and players from Austin’s ever-growing improv community.
Each hour of the marathon will cost $5 to watch. An all-access Marathon pass is available for $48, which, if you’re crazy brave enough to see all the shows, is a HUGE savings!
Ordinarily the Marathon serves as a fundraiser for The Hideout Youth Program. But this is no ordinary year! For the first time in our quarter-of-a-century history, we have to move! In September we will leave 617 Congress Ave. for good. We are still on the hunt for a new home, but one thing is clear: we will need hundreds of thousands of dollars to build the type of theater that our community deserves.
For the entire marathon, we’ll be collecting donations from people like you.
The 2025 marathon improvisers were Halyn Cameron, Jade Fabello, J.R. Zambrano, Marissa Stubbe, Martha Neil, Mykel Jewell, Natalia Rubio, and Roy Janik
Check out our Twitch Stream to catch up with the marathon when you’re not at The Hideout. And maybe throw a couple bucks our way while you watch from your couch.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK 2025’S SPONSORS:
