Brian Fountain i Robyn Sklaren Improv Everywhere

Causing a Scene

Improv Everywhere is a prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places.

Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents. From Frozen Grand Central (200 people freeze in place for five minutes and freak out Grand Central commuters) to The No Pants Subway Ride (3,000 people ride the subway in their underwear during a snow storm), Improv Everywhere has produced dozens of viral hits with their unique brand of harmless fun. Their videos have received over 150 million views on YouTube.

Improv Everywhere does not stage missions to draw attention to an issue. They are focused on creating comedy for comedy’s sake and staging events that purposefully have no explicit reason behind them, other than the goal of spreading chaos and joy throughout the world.

Brian Fountain began his comedy career at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. He has performed in several sketch groups including Manson Roast, Sketch Show and Los Hermanos Fantasticos. In addition, he has performed improv in groups such as Petrol, My Kickass Van, Organatron, Fat Kitchen and many others. He co-wrote the Halloween sensation Killgore: the Musical. JC2K, a full length musical he also penned, was an official selection of the 2007 New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Brian is a Senior Agent and photographer for Improv Everywhere. He is a co-founder of The Company, a social network of comedy alumni. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
