“You don’t need anybody’s permission to go create what you want to create.”
Lance and Ray talk with Charlie Todd, the founder of Improv Everywhere, a joyful prank collective responsible for dozens of amazing public pranks, including The No-Pants Subway Ride and Frozen Grand Central. Check out the terrific documentary We Cause Scenes on Netflix for Improv Everywhere's full origin story.
They talk about the connotations of the word prank, the scariest moment in Improv Everywhere history, why Charlie wishes he'd chosen a different name for the group, and one of his all-time favorite IE missions.
Also, composer Tyler Walker's "Teenage Time Traveler" (his score for Back to the Future in Real Life), Intergalactic Open Mic, and Ray and Lance talk about peanut-butter smoothies and going your own way.
