    IMPROV IS FOR EVERYONE

    With a wide range of kids and adult improv and stand-up classes, and a late night lineup of adults-only shows, we're your home for all kinds of hilarity!


    Build your confidence, creativity, and communication - or just come visit us (or hire us to come to you!) for a night of great comedy!


    Whether you're seven or seventy, the class clown or the company CEO, looking for a laugh or hoping to take the stage yourself, THE LAUGHING ACADEMY is the place for YOU!  

    Founded in 2011 by veteran improv comedy performer, actor, and school teacher Kim Greene Hiller, THE LAUGHING ACADEMY began as a public school-based extra-curricular program serving children in the Glenview Public School System.  


    Immediately embraced by the students and their families, THE LAUGHING ACADEMY took off, eventually offering more than 40 year-long classes across 12 area schools, and impacting the education of over 3,000 students.


    Their annual "Student Jam" free public performances have further raised the school's profile, and Academy students have performed at events for Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook and Children's Aid, and have even opened for comedian Henry Cho.


    In 2019 the school proudly moved into its own home at 3230 Glenview Road.

    _____________

    As THE LAUGHING ACADEMY celebrates 13 years in our community, 

    we are proud to be part of the lives of so many families, and look forward to laughing our way through the next decade with each and every one of you!
