Comedy festivals all promise big laughs, but only the Fun & Dumb Improv Festival delivers 200-plus shows, 750 performers and four days of what organizers describe as "the silly stupid good stuff." Returning July 9–12, the fifth annual festival takes over the Brooklyn Comedy Collective and neighboring venues in East Williamsburg with a dizzying lineup of improv, sketch, musical comedy and experimental performances. Expect appearances from some of the biggest names in alternative comedy alongside emerging performers from across the country, plus workshops for aspiring improvisers and late-night jams for anyone still standing. Whether you're an improv obsessive or simply looking for an excuse to spend an entire weekend laughing, this sprawling festival offers enough absurdity to keep you busy from morning until the wee hours.
