    I hear that the “Almost Giant” exhibit is incredible and can’t wait to see it! There’s no mention of the Improv Comedy Show at the Lakeland Community Theatre at 9pm, though. They must not be an official part of First Fridays, but those guys are HILARIOUS! They do a show every First Friday. I love visiting the attractions downtown and then ending the evening with a good laugh! Thank you Lakeland for some great Community Entertainment!!
