Charlie Todd

Performer Headshot
Charlie Todd has been performing, directing, and writing comedy at the UCB Theatre since 2001. He has studied improv under UCB founders Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh, among others.

He is the founder of Improv Everywhere, a New York prank collective that has been profiled by The New York Times, SPIN Magazine, Rolling Stone (Hot List), and both This American Life's radio and television programs. In 2007, Charlie executive produced and starred in a pilot for NBC based on Improv Everywhere.

Charlie has created many shows at the UCBT including PAID PROGRAMMING, FOUND ON CRAIGSLIST, and THE MP3 EXPERIMENT (all of which were Time Out New York critic's picks). He has been a part of many long running UCBT shows including RETRACED, MANDATORY LAME-ASS STAFF MEETING, THE REAL REAL WORLD, and CAGEMATCH NYC, for which he created the ridiculous wrestling league UCBW. He has made appearances on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, BEST WEEK EVER and VH1's 40 GREATEST PRANKS.
