Dear Meryl Streep, Quit Acting in Movies and Join Our Group

Dear Meryl Streep,

We think you're great!

Quit acting in movies and join our group. You are an incredibly talented and versatile performer. I believe that with your talent, you could easily be a fantastic improv comedian. Octavarius is doing our best to make shows that are fun, entertaining, and challenging artistically. We feel that you would be a fantastic addition to our group.

Your performance in Sophie’s Choice was heartfelt, subtle, and true. It made me hurt for Sophie and be angry at her for making a choice. This would serve you well as an improv comedian providing grounded scenes with excellent character work. Your relationship with Stanley Tucci in Julie & Julia was not only genuine and fun, you also brought out excellent needs and high stakes in your work. Something that is very important in improv. You also have a great sense of humor in all of your television interviews. It might take a rehearsal or two before you pick it up. Just so you could at least feel comfortable performing with someone like Keith.

I understand you might be having a rough week, not winning another Oscar and all. I know that you might feel unappreciated by your “peers”. 16 times the bridesmaid and only 2 the bride. Well, with us, you’ll always be the bride. We’re all for one and one for all. We hang out a bunch. We podcast, watch fun stuff, go places, and make fun wherever we go!

We appreciate you Meryl. Come on, why don’t you slum with us for a while? It’s really fun.

Love,

Brian

Podcast: Robert joins an intellectual discussion.

Happy Monday! In this our sixth episode of the  OctaCast (which I believe we claim is only our fifth on the recording), Southerner of the Week Robert Hughes joins us for an entirely highbrow round-table discussion. I won’t spoil the topic for you before you hear it, but I will say that this episode gets very explicit at times. If you are offended during the first ten minutes, you will likely be offended throughout. ENJOY!!

Octavarius’s triumphant return to ComedySportz

On Thursday, March 11, at 10pm, Octavarius invades ComedySportz again. Because they just couldn’t get enough!
But this time, the stakes are even higher. Two weeks ago, we sent in a proposal to start a run at ComedySportz next fall. It’s very competitive, but we’ve got a good chance, mostly because of how cool you guys [...]

I will get us more time to sleep. With science.

All too often I find myself staying up too late at night and not getting as much sleep as I should as a result. Throughout my entire adult life I have struggled with the dilemma of how much fun I have at night versus how tired I can afford to feel in the morning. This [...]

I am the HammerSlammer

Let it be known to the masses that I, Keith “HammerSlammer” Habersberger, am the true HammerSlammer, and all others who claim themselves to be the HammerSlammer are nothing but petty impostors.
“HammerSlammer
Leave you Enamored
Slam more hammers
Than spam from a spammer
Couldn’t get in to Harvord or Stanford
So I spent my days just slammin’ down hammers
Ohh HammerSlammer

Glenn Beck: Is He Andy Kaufman?

Nobody can dispute what Andy Kaufman did for comedy.  Shunning the term “comedian,” Kaufman referred to himself as “a song and dance man.”  From wrestling women to creating the miserable alter ego Tony Clifton, Kaufman always put on a fantastic show.  Often playing despicable and wholly unlikeable characters, Kaufman always stayed a step ahead of [...]

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 [...]
