The ColdTowne Theater is a theater in Austin, Tx dedicated to live comedy. It is located at 4803 Airport Blvd. next to I Luv Video, a popular indie video rental store. The theater opened on October 28th, 2006 and also includes Austin's only long-form improv training center, similar to those found at the Improv Olympic and Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

The theater is run by the members of ColdTowne who temporarily relocated to Austin as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The comedy troupe decided to remain in Austin, citing the growing popularity of the comedy scene. Because of the nature of their arrival, ColdTowne has gotten lots of press from the Austin Chronicle, the popular improv resource Yes And and various other papers around the country.
