For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we surprised a Salvation Army bell ringer by bringing along our own bell ringers to play with him.
Our first ringer came out with a gigantic bell
and the group gradually grew,
until we had a 13 member handbell choir playing "Joy to the World".
It was a fun christmas surprise for the ringer and all the people in the street!

This was amazing! It gave me shivers and brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful surprise at Christmas time!
How cute. The church I went to as a kid had a handbell choir, they are beautiful. The Salvation Army bell ringer will have a story to remember for the rest of his life. hugs from HW

hi kate!
i tagged you for an award over at my blog - the rule is to write 10 honest facts about yourself - i'd love to read yours!
your blog amazes me and inspires me to let my inner child out. thank you and please, keep it comin'!!!
=)
This is the best. You all are so amazing.
How fun! I love this idea. I was laughing out loud. You guys are great.
Great stuff!!
I love how the improv your group does is not confrontational or meanspirited, but always reminding people of how cool people can be and that fun should be a part of "adult" life.
You guys rock!
I don't think I will ever come to your blog and not leave with a smile on my face. Keep enjoying this time in your life. :) It inspires me to have more fun in mine!
Genius!!!
That is absolutely brilliant. Oh goodness, the storeman looks completely confused. :) What a perfect improv!

Awesome. I think you made his Christmas...look at the smile on his face.
Hehe! I'm sure you made the day of many people! This made me smile.
Christmas spirit at its best... First I laughed, then I cried. Thank you!
I laughed at the guys face, then I felt so sorry for him once they'd all left and he was the only one dingling his tiny bell.
I love improv. Brilliant!!!
I remember one Christmas going to some mall in Johannesburg with my parents,
and the Salvation Army brass band was there playing carols. They were so good
that I got goose bumps!
The Salvation Army does good work - I wish more people would support them. Improvs like this draw excellent attention to a good cause, while being such fun.
Nicely done :-)
I love this a lot. Thank you.
aaah so lovely,I actually cried!!!Thank you for moments like that...
wow ... you really rock, brought tears to mu eyes to see the Salvation Army guys expression and I love what you are doing. Please do more...
Peace and Love

That was beautiful! And I love the look on the Salvation Army man's face!
This was by far- hands down- the BEST Improv Everywhere you've ever done! I wish it was longer and I totally wish you'd taken it a step further and all donated as you walked away ;)
That is just flipping awesome.
I was in a bell choir for a couple years...good memories.
Thanks for the nostalgia
aw that made me tear up too for some reason. if i were anywhere near new york i'd totally want to join improv everywhere. love you guys' videos :)
This made me all teary with holiday goodness. Thank you, Katie for being you, and Improv Everywhere for bringing joy to people. You are doing a wonderful thing. I tweeted about it just now and will post it on my blog later.
it's the look on his face. and the agents trying to look serious, but breaking into grins. it may be my favorite of all of your missions (and believe you me, i've watched them all).
katie, thank you and improv everywhere for this sweet christmas gift to all of us! loved it, and everything about what you do! xox
Love it! Literal "Silver Bells" coming to life.

Wow! I just stumbled across this a few days ago, and now I find this Katie person - funny, cute and a member of Improv Everywhere! Waking the world up to wonder, one person at a time. Love it!
That is so wonderful ! :)
I just came across this way too late, but it is absolutely the most beautiful thing. Tried very hard not to start crying, but I could feel my glasses misting up. I love how much peoples' random acts of kindness can touch others.
