For our latest mission, Agent Lathan pretended to get lost during a Knicks game. Throughout the second half he kept appearing further and further away from his assigned seat with a confused look on his face. Of course Knicks fans went crazy trying to help him find his way back. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our report below.

For our latest mission, seven undercover agents staged a spontaneous musical during lunch at the Trump Tower atrium. The mission was filmed for a segment on The Today Show and includes a cameo from Ann Curry. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our report below.
I was on The Today Show to promote our new book Causing a Scene.

For our latest mission, six undercover actors burst into song in a grocery store in Queens. Three minutes and lots of silly choreography later, they returned to their roles as shoppers and stock boys. The mission was filmed with hidden robotic, lipstick, and wearable cameras. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our report below.
We had a couple of really excellent hidden camera reaction interviews that got cut from the final video. I put them together in an outtake video:
The Today Show aired a segment on Improv Everywhere today(Wednesday, November 4) during the 8:00 AM hour. It was a behind-the-scenes look at a brand new IE mission.
This new mission will appear on our site and YouTube channel later this week as soon as we finish putting the documentation together.
The mission is our third musical, in the style of the recent Grocery Store Musical and the classic Food Court Musical.
If you’ve arrived at this page because you saw the segment, welcome! Check out our other musicals linked above as well as our 8 years of ridiculous missions, archived to the right. And if you like what you see, consider buying our book!
