Top secret footage from our last BattleProv show

Since Octavarius will be back at ComedySportz this Thursday at 10 for another round of BattleProv, we thought it only fitting that we release some top secret footage from our last show there.

BattleProv works differently than other improv shows. The two competing teams go head to head in different rounds. This video covers the first three rounds, which include a group game, two made up short form games, and the “do your thing” round.

As mentioned above, we’ve got another show there this Thursday at 10pm, and there’ll be flip cup and hanging out afterward. Tickets are only $5.

Recipe: Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich

In an attempt to create something new an interesting, I decided to make a waffle ice cream sandwich. The thought struck me as I looked at the freezer in the grocery store which held both waffles and ice cream. Very insightful, I know.

Although it’s not quite as adventurous as the pizza-tini, I figured it’d be worth a shot.

The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 Blueberry Ego Waffles
  • 1 Adorably Small Container of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia
  • Smiles
  1. Toast waffles
  2. Put ice cream on top of toasted waffles
  3. Laugh at those who thought this was dumb

It was delicious. And I thought I was awesome.

Until I went to make this post, and I googled “Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich” which returned 340,000 results.

So maybe I’m not as creative as I thought, but at least I got a tasty snack out of it.

Special thanks to Robin for making that cute equation picture and for being an enabler.

Spaghetti, loitering and video of last week’s show

On last Wednesday we took the stage at O.I.N.K. Due to an unfortunate bit before us, that stage was covered in whiskey and possibly broken glass.
But we persevered.
Although you won’t see many scenes where we’re rolling on the floor.
Thank you to everyone who came to the show. It was a blast, and it was good [...]

The Octavarius website is banned in China

Our field reporter in China has just informed me that he cannot access our website.
Our message of democracy, freedom, and the American way must be so strong, that the Chinese Government is afraid its citizens couldn’t resist it.
They’re probably right.
To writers, commenters, and readers of this website., congratulations. We scared China.
To Chinese Government officials who [...]

Underground improv show

In January we performed underground at the Underground Lounge.  The suggestion was Polaroid.
