Every weekend, Erika Bigelow picks some choice activities for families to do. This week’s weekend picks include one ourdoor event with social distancing, and four things you can do at home.

‘Guess What,’ the Family-Friendly Stand Up Comedy Show
 Sat July 18 1-3 p.m. Online. FREE
The fact is, we could all use some laughs right now. Get the family together and log on for an online stand-up comedy show that is family-friendly. NYC comics will be doing their stand up live and kids can get a chance to tell their jokes in between comics! Tickets are free, but pre-register.
