Improv Everywhere is a group based in New York City that is notorious for its comedic performances that allow average, everyday New Yorkers to participate. The website for the group states:
The group is known to engage in acts that will be somewhat socially awkward for observers and bystanders, perhaps with the goal of lightening-up the busy hustle and bustle atmosphere of the city. While the group has gained much recognition for it's pants-free NYC Subway act (April Fool's Day, 2010), other famous scenes include: synchronized swimming in a public fountain, slo-mo home depot, and the pseudo best buy employees. In may of 2010, the group put together a unique performance which reenacted the opening scene of the move Ghostbusters in the New York City Public Library:Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents.
