Call it Tucson's version of Upright Citizen Brigade's Del Close Marathon in New York City.
Tucson Improv Movement will hold its inaugural Improvathon this Friday-Saturday, a 17-hour improvisation extravaganza, featuring " 'Whose Line Is It Anyway' style short-form improv, long-form improv, storytellers, stand-up, kid-friendly acitivities, puppets and more," according to the Facebook event page.
Added bonus: All the money raised will go directly to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.
Wristbands are $20. The Tucson Movement venue is at 329 E. Seventh St.
