Improv Everywhere was an improv comedy group from Season 18 of America's Got Talent. They were eliminated in the audition round.
Background[]
The improv troupe was founded in 2001 by Charlie Todd in New York City. They have appeared on shows such as Good Morning America and The Today Show.
The act was introduced by one of its members named Eric Gersen under the character name of Wesley Plummer who initially had the judges believe he were a soloist before the remainder of the group joined him on the stage. His character claimed to worked in technology in a small hotel chain and claimed he were auditioning as his niece heard him play piano and believed he would be a good fit to submit to the show. Eric himself is a composer and music director from New York.
Audition[]
Improv Everywhere's audition in Episode 1809 consisted of Eric in character as Wesley singing ABBA's "Take A Chance On Me" while playing the piano. From the audience, more members start improvising a song about giving him a second chance before they joined Wesley in another chorus of "Take A Chance On Me" backed by the UCLA Choir and Marching Band. Howie Mandel buzzed the act. Although Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell voted "Yes", Howie and Sofia Vergara voted "No", eliminating them from the competition.
