This is why I was not at all happy when Agent Todd changed the name of this site from Improv Everywhere to The Urban Pranksters Network. We don't do pranks. Pranks have victims; we don't. When we surprise somebody with a stunt, they get to laugh t...
Mag Lobster, I know how that feels- I once did a four minute set about Jack Kevorkian that got Not. One. Single. Laugh. After my fourth or fifth gag bombed, I got pissed off and did the entire set anyway.

Olá! Estou inscrita há tempos mas sabem quando ainda não nos habituamos aos layouts da coisa e então quase que passamos ao lado?
