The dub club

Ghouls get saucy tonight at “Live-Dubbed Sitcoms,” where comedians improvise new dialogue over muted TV sitcoms. The improvisers will introduce new plots and terrible character flaws to classic episodes of “The Munsters” and “The Addams Family.”

Pumpkin-palooza

Wander down to the water this morning to see the brand new parkland on Pier 6! The new space will be filled with the Brooklyn Bridge Harvest Fest, a kid-friendly fest with a pumpkin patch, storytelling, and obstacle course, and a performance by “kindie rock” band Rolie Polie Guacamole (pictured).

10:30 am–1 pm. Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 6 [Atlantic Avenue at Furman Street in Brooklyn Heights, (718) 222–9939], www.brooklynbridgepark.org. Free.

Oh, Dr. Zaius!

An animatronic orangutan OraculeTang hangs in its cage, answers questions from the audience. Yes, it’s an art installation, but why would you do this four days before Halloween? Have you never seen King Kong? This ape will doom us all!

7:30 pm at BAM Café [30 Lafayette Ave. between Ashland Place and St. Felix Street in Fort Greene, (718) 636–4100, www.bam.org]. Free with RSVP.

Knife skills

Chef, author, and “No Reservations” star Anthony Bourdain discuses his new culinary sci-fi comic book “Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi” about gang wars between chefs in a future Tokyo. Joining him is the book’s artist Joel Rose, and acclaimed comics artist Paul Pope.

7 pm at Book Court [163 Court St. between Pacific and Dean streets in Cobble Hill, (718) 875–3677, www.bookcourt.com]. Free.

Pumpkins and avocados, together at last: Kid-friendly band Rolie Polie Guacomole and their fuzzy friends will rock out at the Harvest Festival in Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 on Oct. 24, where the pre-teen set can also visit a pumpkin patch and join an early costume parade.
