IMPRIDE is celebrating 10 years—and this year, we’re bringing a little extra holiday spirit. Join us December 16–20, 2026, at Tenth Street Arts in downtown San Diego for IMPRIDE for the Holidays: an improv comedy festival with pride.
At its heart, IMPRIDE is about creating space for LGBTQIA+ voices, bringing people together through laughter, and celebrating the creativity of our community. Whether you’re a longtime fan or joining us for the first time, you’re invited to share in the fun.
This year’s lineup brings together improv, stand-up, sketch, and drag comedy. Highlights include Taylor Spencer’s Gays, Theys, and Baes, sketch comedy from Cake Boy Comedy, and Lady Bushra’s Professional Victim.
We’re also presenting A Good Dickens, an irreverent holiday musical parody inspired by A Christmas Carol. With mischievous ghosts, musical send-ups, and a found-family heart, it’s a fresh—and very queer—take on a holiday classic.
The festival opens Wednesday, December 16, with a $5 improv show at 7 p.m. and a $10 public preview of A Good Dickens at 8 p.m. Shows continue Thursday through Saturday, with tickets ranging from $15 to $25 per event. Sunday programming and workshop details will be announced as they’re confirmed.
Come for the comedy, celebrate with your community, and help us make new memories as IMPRIDE enters its next decade.
