Westside Improv Studio - Wheaton, Illinois

Great for a night out or for classes if you’ve always wanted to try Improve.

Show nights are packed and you’re guaranteed to have some great laughs, plus there’s free parking and tons a great restaurants just feet away so it’s easy to make a night of it.

Jeff Ash, the owner of the club masterfully leads an 8 week beginners class. Taking novice students and step by step through the crazy world of improvisation. He loves what he does and seems to have an endless well of positivity.

Improve has helped me let go, think differently, and make new friends. I highly recommend seeing a show and taking class if you’re looking to grow and have a lot of fun in the process.

I am so happy I decided to take a risk and take Level 1. I never had tried improv or acting before. I'm now in level 4 and have made great friends. Westside is a fun place to grow.

Took the Level 1 improv class and it was an absolute blast. If you're looking for guaranteed weekly laughter, a fun way to connect with others, and a safe space to step outside your comfort zone, this is it. The instructor Jeff is supportive, encouraging, and hilarious. He's truly a magical being and such a gift of a teacher. He creates a fun, judgment-free space to feel comfortable exploring and playing. This class is all about having fun, and honestly, who doesn't need more of that these days? Take the class. You'll laugh. You'll cry (from laughing so hard). And then you'll laugh some more.

I love this place. The community is wonderful, the shows are always funny and entertaining, the classes are a blast and the teachers are amazing. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful theater in our community. Please bring your friends, mistresses, enemies, spouse, parents with their new spouses, weird uncles, or yourself for a fun night out.

Fun Friday! The players were having so much fun- it was a blast watching their joy. The laughs were a bonus!

Loved the show we attended here! Especially Level II Improv and the Shakespeare group. A lot of laughs and fun. Cool theatre area and love the bar attached in the lobby! Definitely worth coming out for shows!

This place is an absolute gem and we're so lucky to have it in Wheaton: Great shows and great classes. After years of thinking about it, I signed up for Jeff's Level 1, Introduction to Improv class. Jeff said at the very beginning of the class that it would be a safe, non-judgmental place to learn the basics of improvisation; it was all of that and so much more. Jeff is such an incredibly positive and encouraging teacher and his love of the art of improv shined through in every class (he's also incredibly funny and likable, but don't tell him I said that). It was just SO MUCH FUN. If you're thinking about taking a class and, like many of us, scared of getting up on stage and playing around, just do it, you will not regret it. I doubt you have laughed as much as you will in class (or a show - go see those too!)!
