We Cause Scenes
A few Improv Everywhere agents produced two videos to show support for the Writers Guild of America. Take a look at what The Office would be like as a real documentary (without writers.)
You can learn more about what the writers are fighting for at United Hollywood.
Our good friend Rob, who you’ll remember from being lost in Yankee stadium, got lost again at this year’s New York City Marathon the other week. Poor Rob. At least he had a sweet t-shirt on. Enjoy his video account:
The Mp3 Experiment in Seoul was a big success on Saturday. Agent El Colin sent in this report:
The whole event went beautifully! The rain stopped a few hours before the event thankfully and there was still a good turn out; about 30 people. We prepared for 100 but I was happy with the size of the group, it felt like less to worry about. Before the event 42 people downloaded the English Version and 15 the Korean Version. The most amazing thing was that after it was all over we got a great response and everyone was practically demanding another one. People from the crowd watching were joining in, happiness was spreading like a stick of butter in the middle of a big frying pan.
Congrats, guys!

Our friend Jesse Thorn from The Sound of Young America, a public radio show about things that are awesome, interviewed This American Life’s Ira Glass in his most recent podcast. The entire interview is excellent, and there’s a section where they discuss the Improv Everywhere episode of This American Life that’s particularly interesting. Their discussion about whether a bias is created when searching for a compelling narrative in a story begins at 7:03 and becomes specifically about the Improv Everywhere episode at 13:15.
