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.
