The 17th Annual No Pants Subway Ride was, January 7 in New York City. Tens of thousands of exhibitionists stripped down to their underwear to ride the world’s subways in an annual event designed to make people laugh.
The 17th edition of the worldwide trouserless train ride has seen events organised in European cities including Copenhagen, Prague, Zurich, Lisbon, London and Berlin.
The event was started in 2002 by New York-based comedy collective Improv Everywhere.
While the first ‘No Pants Subway Ride’ in New York had just seven participants, the event has grown each year, with organisers expecting thousands of people to take part in more than 60 cities on Sunday.
Improve Everywhere says there is “no agenda for the event apart from a desire to make others laugh and smile.”
