Overview
EUROPROV is Europe's annual English-language improv comedy festival, held in Vienna and organized by American Improv, Austria's first English-language improv school (founded in 2020 by Peter Graff). The 2026 edition runs for ten days at Cafe Aera in Vienna's first district, bringing together performers, teachers, and ensembles from across Europe and the United States for workshops, shows, and masterclasses.
The festival format pairs daytime workshops - covering scenework, character development, and storytelling for various skill levels - with nightly performances featuring full-length improvised plays, fast-paced improv games, and unscripted shows. The 2025 edition featured artists from nine countries and sold-out shows from groups like Shoot From The Hip.
Headliners
Confirmed headliners for 2026 include Holy Sh!t Improv (a touring show from Los Angeles featuring Casey Feigh), Demon Improv (featuring Kenneth Jackson, Derrick Lee Hood, and Jeannie Ceglar), and Emmy-nominated comedian Brendan Scannell, whose credits span Chicago stages, LA comedy rooms, Netflix, Comedy Central, and Just for Laughs.
Additional performers include Ari Voukydis, Betsy Stover, Shakira Paye, Jacquis Neal, Jake Jabbour, and Caroline Cummings, alongside Vienna-based Peter Graff, Fabian Obermann, and the American Improv Conservatory ensemble.
