IMPROV TO GET EXCITED ABOUT

GIVE ME BACK MY SON! For New York's indiest improv nerds, this weekend commemorates the third bi-annual "Up the Creek Improv Camp," also known as The Longest Three-Day Stretch of Driving Imaginary Cars and Digging Imaginary Holes With Imaginary Shovels. Hosted by The Creek and The Cave, the sweetest little duplex bar-performance space in Long Island City, the improv romp will feature 96 of New York's best and brightest indie teams (the generic term for an improv group that isn't affiliated with or hosted by any particular theater). As far as the festival goes -- think SXSW for long-form improv.

• Weekend Lineups: Friday | Saturday | Sunday
