Improv Everywhere: Black Tie Beach 2014

From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:

Black Tie Beach 2014 Improv Everywhere-425

For the Fifth Annual Black Tie Beach, hundreds of participants spent a day at the beach in black tie attire. We covered Coney Island with a diverse group of people of all ages laying out, playing games, and swimming in the ocean in formal wear. Agents were instructed to find cheap tuxedos and ball gowns at thrift stores for the occasion. The event also happened on the same day in several other cities around the world, including Boston and Jacksonville.

Improv Everywhere: The Mannequin Mob

From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:

For our latest mission, we surprised shoppers and employees at the 5th Avenue Gap in Manhattan by giving the store 40 extra mannequins.

Performers entered the store wearing white Morphsuits under Gap-style clothing and then zipped up their suits and froze in place next to the store’s actual mannequins. Most everyone loved it, except Gap security, who called 911.

Improv Everywhere: A Christmas Story In Real Life

From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:

A Christmas Story – Movies In Real Life (Episode 10)

ChristmasStory

For our latest mission, we recreated the famous “triple dog dare” scene from A Christmas Story on an NYC subway car. Instead of licking a flagpole, our character licked a subway pole. Using a prosthetic tongue with a magnet inside, we were able to get his tongue to appear stuck to the pole, much to the surprise of New Yorkers on the train.

This project is the last installment in our 10-part fall series, Movies in Real Life. We hope to make more in the future!
