Let’s hear it for three-day weekends.
Friday
Adam Devine
Start your weekend off with some laughs right here on campus. Devine, from “Workaholics” and “Pitch Perfect” will perform standup along with comedian Adam Ray.
Lisner Auditorium. 730 21st St NW. 7 p.m. $35
Screening of “Timbuktu”
This French-Mauritanian film about life under Jihadi rule in Mali was “New York Times” critic A. O. Scott’s favorite film of the year.
Alliance Francaise of Washington, D.C. 2142 Wyoming Ave NW. 7 p.m. $7.
Sunday
Celebrate the birth of George Washington, or at least celebrate that he gave you the day off school on Monday, and get out of the city at George Washington’s Birthday Celebration in Old Town Alexandria. You can participate in a 10k at 8 a.m. or watch a Revolutionary War re-enactment beginning at 10 a.m. Or maybe you’d rather go later in the day and catch the birthday parade.
King and Royal Streets, Alexandria, VA. Prices vary.
Sunday and Monday
Nick Kroll and John Mulaney
Can’t get enough comedy this weekend? Big fan of Comedy Central’s “Kroll Show”? Well you’re in luck. Kroll and Mulaney, whose Netflix comedy special “The Comeback Kid” is something you should watch immediately, will perform as their characters from “The Oh, Hello Show” skit on “Kroll Show.”
