The Upright Citizens Brigade honors Del Close with a weekend of nonstop comedy. Close was one of the founding fathers of improv, with protégés including Bill Murray and John Belushi. Emerging comedy troupes perform around the clock in three separate venues, while more established groups have evening slots at a larger theater. This year's lineup packs a lot of big names into two nights: Friday's highlights are Rob Corddry's Naked Babies and improvised musicals from Baby Wants Candy, whose past guests include cast members of 30 Rock. Saturday features an improv jam with writers and correspondents from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
