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.
