Best Busker EverEveryone is invited to attend! We are going to
sing as a mass crowd, all to one unsuspecting person. Creating a moment that for the rest of their life, they will never forget. Here’s how:

FIRST: Listen to the song we’ll be singing:

-

Imagine this. A man, standing by himself guitar in hand. Beside him sits a sign advertising that he’s singing personalized songs. Walking by, random unsuspecting people, ask for a song.

He begins singing. Using their name he mentions how they’ve just met, and how cool they seem, etc.

As he starts singing someone joins in with a ukelele. And then another person joins, and another. And then some backup singers. And then a whole band. And it just grows and grows until everyone in the area is singing a personalized song to this one person.

We want you to be a part of it! Help sing, or play an instrument, or just blowing a kazoo. Doesn’t matter if you have no musical talent. The whole idea is to have as many people as possible singing to this one surprised person!

-
NOTE: We will be REHEARSING the song and PERFORMING all on the same day. Please be on time.

When: March 3rd. 12pm-5pm
Where: Nathan Phillips Square
RSVP: Facebook

How you can help make this amazing:
1) Show up! EVERYONE can sing.
2) Learn the song! (Lyrics: http://soundcloud.com/improvintoronto/best-busker-ever-group)
3) If you are skilled at an instrument bring it along!
4) Spread word to anyone and everyone.
5) If you know any choirs, marching bands, orchestras, musicians, singers, bands, school choirs, etc; help them get in contact with us!

As of just a couple months ago, Improv in Toronto started running free, monthly meetups!
Just as a chance to hangout, do improv, brainstorm and plan missions.

We usually spend the first hour brainstorming events. And then the remaining two hours doing improv. Everyone is welcome, many people who attend are new to improv.

Upcoming meet-ups:

Sat Feb 11, 2012 12:00pm – 3:00pm
Sat Mar 3, 2012 12:00pm – 3:00pm

If you are interested in attending, please email us and confirm as there is a limited amount of room. We’ll then email you back with more details, and the meeting location.

The No Pants! Subway Ride is an event that never really changes. This was our 5th year running it, and yet it still manages to get some hilarious reactions, laughs, and double takes. Check out the video above, and then feel free to take a look at some photos from the event below!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our 5th No Pants Subway Ride! Please post any fun stories, conversations, thoughts, or opinions you had of the event below! We should have the pictures and video up within the next week! So keep checking back!

We hope everyone had fun, and we look forward to seeing you at future events.

After running Gifts for Strangers last year in 2010 we quickly realized we had to make the event annual. It was impossible to keep the joy and excitement of such an event from spreading. This year we were joined by 24 cities across the world in running Gifts for Strangers on December 17th.
