improv everywhere!
I have been following up with what these guys have been up to for quite some time and they blow me away with their innovative ideas every single time! The idea was first brought by an American comedian, Charlie Todd, who now teaches and performs long-form improv comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. In his “spare time” he enjoys organizing tongue-in-cheek “missions” all over New York. Missions such as the hilarious “Red-heads Protest at Wendy’s”, the amazing “Frozen Grand Central”, and their latest: “Mobile Desktops”. I have no idea how they can do that and still keep a straight face! It really requires skill!
Recently, I read at their blog that they have gone international - so I cant wait to see something like this in Kuwait! I also found out that they were the guys behind the “Windws of a Manhattan building” project! My favorite is the Frozen Grand Central mission. Inspired by it, a similarly successful “freeze” experiment was also done in Berlin; the Berlin Alexa Freeze project.
I have also enjoyed the creativity in the experiment done in Dubai, also known as “Go Around Twice If You’re Happy” by writers/directors Vincent Fichard and Matthew Jones.
Would you participate in such “mission”?

I think I prefer being one of the audience in most of these projects 
But I would participate in something like the “Go around twice if you’re happy”. That video was hilarious. I love the yellow truck.
The Frozen Grand Central project was so cool. It’s amazing how they could pull it off so well.
