1. Dustin Luke Nelson and The Applause
Applause duration: 120 minutes and 32 seconds
How many times should one clap during the applause that lasts 2 hours and 32 seconds? Too many? Well, for Dustin and his group, the answer is enough to set the Guinness World Record. It happened two years ago in June, 26th, at the Walker Art Center’s Open Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. A bunch of people clapped at each other for the purpose of connecting people. This performance, which aimed to be an action for strengthening community, was an unusual combination of entertainment and a good cause and therefore deserved first place on our list of 6 longest applauses of all time.
