The Threefer (AKA "The Thursday Threefer") is a performance slot at The Hideout Theatre.
Summary
The Threefer happens every Thursday at 8pm at The Hideout. As the name implies, it's a triple bill, with three improv acts. The first two slots are typically twenty-five to thirty minutes, and the third act is thirty to thirty-five minutes. The first two acts vary from week to week, but the third act is a headliner act -- each headliner gets a monthlong run of Threefer shows.
The acts are scheduled by Roy Janik, who puts out a call for applications every two months.
History
The Threefer originated as an Austin Improv Collective-branded show in 2005, with a ticket price of $3. Until mid-2006, its name was hyphenated: "Three-fer".
Later, the show was taken over by The Hideout, which had always hosted the event. Inflation eventually drove the ticket price up to $5.
