Cracked Interviews Charles Todd of ImprovEverywhere
Charles Todd began ImprovEverywhere by pretending to be Ben Folds at a bar one night.
That's what I learned from this interview.
Back in 2001 when I first moved to NYC, a couple of friends and I thought would be funny for me to go into a bar and pose as singer Ben Folds (who I don't really resemble). I sat at the bar by myself for a half hour, and then my friends came up to me and asked for autographs. By the end of the night I was drinking on the house and girls were giving me their phone numbers.
Moral of the story: not only were hipsters around in 2001, but posers were as well.
