Improv Everywhere

Improv Everywhere is comedian and director Charlie Todd‘s decades-long project to bring extraordinary moments of surprise and delight to ordinary places. Based in New York City but producing projects around the world, Improv Everywhere pioneered large-scale surprise public performances, long before anyone had heard of the term “flash mob.”

Early adopters of YouTube, Improv Everywhere was one of the first creators on the platform in 2006 and defined an entire genre of comedy for the Internet age. To date the channel has half a billion views. With viral hits like the legendary Frozen Grand Central and the absurdly silly No Pants Subway Ride, Improv Everywhere has created iconic projects that have entered the zeitgeist and been replicated in dozens of countries around the globe.

Over the past 20+ years, Improv Everywhere has staged hundreds of projects in public places involving tens of thousands of undercover performers, all with the goal of making random strangers laugh and smile.
