If you happen to be in the NY City subway, and see a car filled with identical couples, don’t question your eyesight or mental sanity. Rather, enjoy the ride as you are travelling with a live art performance happening right beside you.

Improv Everywhere is, at its core, about having fun. Charlie Todd, the founder of Improv Everywhere tells us: “Our missions are a fun source of entertainment for the participants, those who happen to see us live, and those who read the website.
