Out of Bounds opens submissions and Va de Impro turns ten

Out of Bounds Comedy Festival opened submissions on May 1 for its November 5-8 run in Austin. The window stays open through June 30 with two-tier pricing: Early Bird through May 31, then Regular pricing through June. Improv and sketch acts get 25-35 minute slots, and visiting troupes get two of them.

Va de Impro hits its 10th anniversary in 2026, June 4-7 in Valladolid, Spain. The page is updated with the anniversary edition's confirmed lineup and the LAVA program of two shows a day plus masterclasses.

Site improvements

When you share a festival or news page on Facebook or Threads, the preview card that comes through is now a custom-built image with proper metadata, instead of whatever the page had to offer before.
