Improv is the art of spontaneous comedy. Imagine a completely unscripted version of Saturday Night Live. The general idea is that you have an idea and take that and make it funny. That isn’t at all what we’re talking about with Improv Everywhere, but it’s still hilarious.
Improve Everywhere is a comedy team of volunteers that stage large pranks usually on large groups of people. They have a few scenes that are just fantastic like this one where the repeated the same scene 12 times in a Starbucks. My favorite is the fake Ben Folds Five last night in town. In this scene one of the guys pretends he is Ben Folds from Ben Folds Five and has believers all over a bar.
This has nothing to do with Fresno, but after you watch some of their videos you’ll be glad you did!

3I love Improv!. I have never heard of this particular group but they sound wicked funny. Maybe some of them will make it to SNL and give the show the livining up that it needs.
