Spooktacular comedy around the corner!

As part of the Texas State Museum of Asian Culture and Education Center’s Halloween Party, Premature Punchline will be making a comedic appearance. At press, we will be adjusting some of our games into more Halloween-centric themes. See you at the Halloween event on October 24th; it runs from noon to 5:00 and we perform off-and-on from 1-4.

Second Dark Tour teaser up!

Our second teaser, conceptualized by Daniel Rodriguez, is up and shows a classic Corpus Christi before SOMETHING happens to the city. This should hint at what our November immersive Dark Tour “Her Dark Blessing” will be about!

PrePunch Pair of Shows

Here are some pics from our recent Sept 24th and 26th shows in Kingsville and Corpus! The 24th show featured newbies Joey and Delilah, the latter whom returned for the 26th show as well. The Corpus show was at our favorite venue, the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures, and the Kingsville show was in a classroom at the TAMUK campus.

Brand new teaser for “Her Dark Blessing” is up!

Conceived and directed by Daniel Rodriguez. Music by Down Chamber.

Super-Secret SECRET Show Incoming

Here is our super duper AI flyer (get it?). Or it’s Mike’s handwriting. Either way, our annual Secret Show is coming up with the location given out ONLY via messaging us on social media or via email. That’s right, old school espionage style. We will give YOU, our Zero Untitled Main site followers a headstart: the password is “Pee pee poo poo”. See you on September 24th at 7:00 for this free show… maybe.

Our Season flyer!

Here is the OFFICIAL look at our 2026-2027 season schedule. This does not include the TBD dates for Premature Punchline shows and Textual Overture performances; that’s what the blank space on the bottom is for!

“The Announcers” Zero Practice Performance

As part of our ongoing “Zero Practice” series, actors are given a brand-new script of a play they are completely unfamiliar with and are expected to perform the play live on-the-spot in front of an audience.

And here is the SECOND performance (in less than 24 hours) with Dawn Robertson as our “blind” actress chosen. Gabe reprised his role and Julio took over as both actors were familiar with the show from the previous night’s performance.

And even more open mic!

Stop complaining that there is nothing in town to do when we have ANOTHER fantastic evening of open mic madness at Hatters Beverage Company via our Textual Overture branch! Expect poetry, live music, short plays, and YOU, on the stage! This is a FREE performance, but the venue would appreciate drink purchases.

And here are a few pics from the show! See even more photos on the Productions page!


PrePunch at the Rialto

Here are a handful of pics from the July 25 show at the Rialto Theatre! More pics are on the Premature Punchline production page!

Improv comedy on August 8th!

Our resident improv comedy troupe, Premature Punchline, will be making their grand return to the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures and Education Center for World Elephant Day on August 8th! Like previous museum-event productions, we will be staging multiple mini-shows starting at noon until 2:30 with short breaks in between to give museum-goers the opportunity to see the other events happening at the museum.
