Forget Adbusters! Improv Everywhere take culture jamming to the streets man! (With a little bit of humour thrown in for good measure.) Theirs is the flavour of genuine good times, not the smug, snortling humour you often find among culture appropriators. They’re like the Dick Smith of laughter or something. Causing a Scene, Improv Everywhere’s new book, will be sure to make you hop on the lollacoaster to boomtown.**The story goes something like this: Improv Everywhere started when Todd was in a bar imitating Ben Folds and some douche bags actually believed him. Other pranks include getting friends to dress up as U2 and play a rooftop concert in New York, and having a group of people freeze for 5 minutes at Grand Central Station. The book is a veritable prankster’s bible.
