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!

Thanks to the over 2,000 people who participated in today’s mission in Brooklyn. If you were there, please leave an Agent Report in the comments. I know there are thousands of funny stories waiting to be told. Also leave links to any photos you might have taken. We will be posting photos from our official photographers later today, and we hope to have our video up in a week or so.

For those of you who were not there– we passed out over 2,000 “invisible dog” leashes and had everyone go for a nice Sunday walk in Brooklyn. If you were anywhere within a one mile radius of the Bergen St. stop in Cobble Hill today, you would have seen all types of folks very seriously walking their very silly dogs.
The invisible dog toy was invented in the 1970s in the Brooklyn factory that served as our meeting point today. No Longer Empty and The Invisible Dog art space were nice enough to loan us the vintage dogs for an afternoon of fun.
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
