It seems like an absurd question but 4,000 (yes, 4,000) people in New York turned out for the annual No Pants Subway Ride on Sunday.
The day was conceived as an arts/theatre/comedy project by “prank collective” Improv Everywhere. The group’s tagline is “We cause scenes” and that they certainly do.
However, this accordion-playing busker is completely unperturbed about what’s going on around him.
The event – which originated in New York 11 years ago – has now gone global. Organisers noted that the event has now spread to 59 cities in 27 countries.
