Celebrating 10 years
IMPRIDE for the Holidays
December 16–20, 2026
Tenth Street Arts · Downtown San Diego
Ten years of pride. A whole season of laughs.
An improv comedy festival with pride.
IMPRIDE celebrates its 10th anniversary with a holiday edition in downtown San Diego. Join us December 16–20, 2026 at Tenth Street Arts for queer comedy, community and a little holiday mischief.
This year’s festival brings together improv, stand-up, sketch and drag comedy. Catch Taylor Spencer’s Gays, Theys, and Baes, the sketch comedy of Cake Boy Comedy, and Lady Bushra’s live show Professional Victim.
At 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, A Good Dickens takes the stage: a holiday musical parody full of irreverent humor, familiar holiday spirits and found family. Wednesday kicks things off with a discounted public preview and an improv show at 7 p.m.
Come for your favorite performer, discover someone new, and celebrate a decade of amplifying LGBTQIA+ voices. Each show is ticketed separately, with tickets from $5 to $25. Sunday programming will be announced soon.
