A Site A Day #11 - Improv Everywhere

We all are pranksters. Common let's face it, each and everyone of us played a prank at least once in their life time. Some of us do it twice... others even 10 times... Maybe you ain't a general prankster, but maybe you know one. A real prankster, one that knows how to pull a prank... like the prank in my second post... Operation relliM a real prank... one that takes planing into account...

Still... What if you have a prank that involves let's say... 10 people... or 20... or 50... but what happens when you have a prank that involves 300 people ?! Ain't that simply mind bending ? Well these dudes do this... "they cause scenes". I'm just gonna present how it all started... well part of it at least (excerpt from the official FAQ):



"In August of 2001, I went out to a West Village bar with my college buddies Brandon Arnold and Jon Karpinos. On a whim we decided to pull a prank where I would pose as musician Ben Folds. Three hours later, "Ben Folds" was drinking on the house surrounded by women and his "two big fans" were thrown out of the bar for "stealing Ben Folds' wallet". I had always been a prankster, but this experience enlightened me as to how far a prank could be taken. As an actor new to the city, I discovered I could create my own theatre rather than waiting around for someone to give me stage time. I got tired of telling the story to friends, so I typed it up and put it on the web. Improv Everywhere was born. "



And as a simple P.S. these dudes also have some nice YouTube Videos
