Improv Everywhere: Black Tie Beach

Several hundred Improv Everywhere agents spent yesterday afternoon at Coney Island and Brighton Beach wearing formal attire for the latest IE mission “Black Tie Beach”.

We covered a mile-long stretch of beach with a diverse group of people of all ages (from babies to sixty-somethings) laying out, playing games, and swimming in the ocean, all in formal wear. Agents were instructed to find cheap tuxedos and ball gowns at thrift stores for the occasion.
