A little over five years ago, shortly after I moved to New York City, my friend Brandon Arnold commented that I resembled rock star Ben Folds when we were out drinking at a bar. I decided we should test his theory out, and I wound up fooling an entire bar into thinking I was Ben Folds. We had so much fun that we repeated it the next night to even crazier results. It was the first scene I ever caused in New York, and the inspiration for this website.

The same folks who produce the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen also hold a festival every year in Vegas. They invited Agent Kula and I to come out this year and show some Improv Everywhere videos as part of a stage show. Just like Aspen, we were asked to execute a mission in Vegas and then screen the resulting video at our show. In Aspen, we had several of our comedian friends from the UCB Theatre in town, which made it easier to pull things together. In Vegas, however, we needed to call upon the help of some local Improv Everywhere fans. I scanned my Global Agents Message Board and invited all of the Las Vegas members to come help us out.

To celebrate our 5th anniversary, we put on a big show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Manhattan. In addition to the world premiere screenings of some of our older missions, we had a number of very special guests drop by from Improv Everywhere’s past.
A group of performers from the UCB Theatre got together to see the Yankees/Tigers game on Wednesday, August 30th. A few weeks before the game, Agent Lathan approached me about doing a favorite prank of his at the stadium. He stumbled onto the prank by accident at Fenway Park back in 2001. After leaving his seat at Fenway to hit the concession stand, he had a difficult time finding his way back. His friends started shouting at him, trying to get his attention, and pretty quickly several strangers in the section began shouting his name as well. Agent Lathan decided to keep it going by pretending he couldn’t hear them and pretty soon the entire section was frantically yelling his name. He did the prank again at Shea Stadium in 2002 (this time on purpose) on a slightly larger scale. For the Yankee Stadium version, the goal would be to spread the prank over many sections, trying to get as many people as possible involved in bringing “Rob” back to his seat.
