Charlie Todd: The Shared Experience of Absurdity

By Kaylan Haddican – Muze Staff Writer

Charlie Todd is the founder of Improv Everywhere, a New York City-based prank group that causes scenes in public places, bringing joy and laughter to those standing by. Todd started the group in November 2001, and they have been performing and conducting what he calls “missions” for over ten years. Todd also performs at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and has written a book about Improv Everywhere called Causing a Scene.

The Shared Experience of Absurdity documents Todd’s appearance at the TEDxBloomington Conference. Todd describes a few of the over 100 stunts Improve Anywhere has been a part of. However, the reactions of those witnessing the events are always the same: joy, laughter, and fun.
