Mykel Jewell (he/him) originally hails from NYC and has been living in Austin since 2014. A fervent and die hard sponge of all the wonderful benefits of improv since 2020, Mykel has trained internationally with theaters in the UK, Germany, Bangladesh and many more theaters across the world and right here in Austin. Being exposed to such a variety of voices in the improv space has fostered a deep passion in Mykel for advocating for the promotion of diversity in the arts. As the Hideout’s Head of Diversity Outreach, Mykel’s foremost focus is to encourage highlighting the traditionally under-represented voices in all performance arts spaces.
