The Athens Improv Festival is returning bigger and better than ever for its third year, offering three nights of performances from local favorites, old friends from Atlanta and new ones from North Carolina. Thursday night will begin with a 6 p.m. Improv 101 class, followed by four 30–45 minute sets of improv. Friday will begin with an Open Jam at 6 p.m., followed by six more improv sets. The final day of the festival will feature two affiliated improv workshops, “Sing About It” and “So Emotional,” that begin at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., respectively, and are priced separately from the festival ticket. The Kids Show will follow these workshops at 5:30 p.m., then the festival will close out with six more improv sets.
