Hi! I'm Charlie Todd. This is my personal blog where I share links, photos, and stuff I think is cool.

About me:

- I'm the founder of the New York City prank collective Improv Everywhere.

- I teach and perform long-form improv comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

You can reach me through this contact page.

You can also find me on twitter.

I just put up some photos of my trip to Madrid and Barcelona on Flickr.  Rather, I just took some of Katie Sokoler’s photos from our trip and put them on Flickr.  I wish I could have Katie follow me everywhere I go and take photos— she makes everything look awesome.  This is Matt Adams and I in a ridiculous Mediterranean Sea action shot.

The new Improv Everywhere mission is up: I Love Lunch! The Musical.  Once again the song was written by Scott Brown and Anthony King (whose new album dropped this week - the Gutenberg! The Musical! cast recording.)  The mission premiered on the Today show yesterday - you can see the Today segment at the bottom of my write up.

I first saw this on Facebook via Chris Gethard, and his preface is better than I can do.  Follow his instructions:

You must watch this video. It is a little long. Get to the two minute mark, when it becomes the funniest thing I have seen in months. Don’t skip ahead, the slow build is what makes it work. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

Happy Halloween from a country that barely celebrates the holiday!

Here’s another confusing bathroom sign, if you don’t speak Spanish.

I’ve seen this sign a couple of times in Spain. This one was by a door near the bathrooms. I get that men can’t go in, but is it still OK if women piss in there?

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) humbles Hudson Institute dilettante over health care bankruptcies

Do they make action figures for senators?  What about posters?  I need some Al Franken merch to display how kickass I think he is.

AHIP Pollster Interrupted By Singing Troupe Of Protesters

Some of my pals in the activist prank group Billionaires for Wealthcare pulled off this musical stunt today at a health insurance industry meeting in DC.

Grocery Store Musical « Improv Everywhere

I’m super excited with how this one came out.  Mad props to Scott Brown and Anthony King for writing the song.  (Everyone should buy their new album - the Gutenberg! The Musical! cast recording)

The most hilarious part of the experience for me is that we shot it in a grocery store in Astoria that Anthony, Scott, and I used to shop at all the time when we lived together in an apartment around the corner.  Back in 2002, I would have never thought we’d return seven years later to make this ridiculous video.
