Charlie Todd

Charlie Todd is a New York-based comedian and director known for orchestrating extraordinary moments of surprise and delight in ordinary places. In 2001 Charlie created Improv Everywhere, a project that pioneered large-scale surprise public performances, long before anyone had heard of the term “flash mob.” An early adopter of YouTube, Charlie was one of the first creators on the platform in 2006, and his Improv Everywhere channel defined an entire genre of comedy for the Internet age. The projects Charlie has directed for Improv Everywhere have received half a billion lifetime views. 
Charlie’s projects are site-specific, hugely uplifting, and uniquely hilarious. Who doesn’t want to live in a world where high fives are offered at the top of a subway escalator, time suddenly freezes in Grand Central Terminal, and random people are given the chance to conduct a world-class orchestra on the streets of New York City?
