A couple of performers who came to Austin for OOB from Ultimate Improv in LA, just took over Ultimate Improv, renamed it The Improv Space, and mentioned OOB and the Austin community in an article to the UCLA student newspaper. Pretty sweet.

Also, is that an unshaven college-age Kareem in the background?

my quest to infect L.A. improv with an Austin ethos is bearing fruit...

This push to make improv more inclusive was in part influenced by a trip they took to Austin, Texas, to perform in the annual Out of Bounds Comedy Festival.

“We realized once we got to Austin that the improv community out there was really tight-knit. There’s a real camaraderie that we don’t feel is really there in L.A.,” Lief said. “The improv community out here is kind of clique-ish, we wanted to sort of try to undo that.”
