Comedy Classes - Improv, Stand Up, Sketch - Online & In-Person

The RISE Comedy Training Center is a wonderful place to learn improvisation! Our experienced comedy faculty has decades of teaching experience. Improv experts create and refine our class curriculum. We give beginners the tools to unlock confidence and playfulness. We challenge veterans to level up and break through plateaus.

Great little theatre with a friendly staff, tasty beverages and a hip crowd that comes out to support local comics (like me)!

The theatre is a 100 person seater and always has at least a spare seat or two. Hecklers are kicked out quickly which is a good bonus! Come say hi on Wed nights to me and other aspiring funny people.

Rise is a wonderful place to try out improv if you’re new to it. The community is here is welcoming and supportive. I’ve met some of the funniest and kindest people here. The shows are great and every time I bring friends to see a show they always have a wonderful time! Great talent, amazing teachers and coaches, and so many great opportunities to watch good improv and to also do some good improv! I’ve made some amazing friends here. I don’t ever regret going to my first jam here.

A Fantastic Improv Experience!
Chris was an amazing instructor for the improv class I attended! Each session left me feeling energized, creative, and confident about what we were learning. Collaborating with the other students was a blast as we tackled various exercises together.

If you want to unleash your inner comedian, this class is a must! I highly recommend it!

I went to one of the improv shows on a Saturday night and I had a great time. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I love that you can order drinks from your seats and they will bring them out to you during the show so you don’t miss anything.

Love Rise, I feel like I am part of the family there. Best place to get into standup comedy. Christie Buchele’s classes are great. Make sure to hit up the open mic night on Wednesdays.

My husband and I absolutely loved this musical. The entire performance was impromptu and we were thoroughly impressed. It made such a special date night for the two of us!
