If you want feminists and social justice warriors ...

If you want feminists and social justice warriors to ruin comedy for you, you will feel right at home at The Hideout. In fact, the entire time you are here, you will feel like you are in a BuzzFeed video.

At The Hideout, accents aren't allowed because they are racist. Hillary Clinton jokes aren't allowed (but Trump jokes are) because they are sexist. And apparently, any scene in which a woman plays a feminine role is also sexist.

At The Hideout, everything is offensive; and upper management (Andy Crouch, the director of the education program) has made it a top priority to make their instructors abruptly intervene in your scenes to tell you that something is offensive. You might not learn much of improvisation here, but you'll definitely get a lesson in Social Justice 101 from woke SJWs.

Many other students and interns I knew during my time here had brought up these things in our conversations which is why I thought this review was long overdue. As embarrassing as this school is, I really feel sorry for the people who run this place. I often wonder how they handle life outside in the real world.

Note to potential students: keep in mind that these other reviews are for their shows, not their classes. Do not let the high ratings fool you about the quality of the classes. There are plenty of other options in Austin. Save your $250.
