Improv Everywhere

Improv Everywhere is a group that consists of actors and pranksters that works in New York City. They have done a bunch of different videos that consist of them coming into different populated places and putting on these shows or skits in front of other people. Anybody (18 and older) can join the Improv Everywhere group. These skits often make people laugh but sometimes they can be frightening. Their videos have consisted of them going pantless on a subway train, dressing like star wars figures, and pretending to be the actual King Phillip IV. These acts are done to bring joy to people. They take pride in creating an awesome scene that is really funny. They are out to prove that pranks don’t have to be humiliating or embarrassing.

In this scene, an actor dressed as King Phillip IV pretends to be signing autographs by his painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This painting done by Velazquez is 400 years old. It appears as though some people actually believe that it is the really King Phillip.
