Video: BattleProv, McNuggets, and Batman

Thanks again to everyone who came to the show last Thursday.

For those who didn’t make it, here’s the video of our “Do Your Thing” round.

For those of you who were at the show. If you watch this, you’ll get to see Nick punch a bird again. Totally worth it.

BattleProv’s Torture Round

This top secret footage is so top secret that they actually asked us to stop filming right in the middle. What we did capture though, shows the “Torture Round” of the BattleProv show.

If you missed the last BattleProv show we did at ComedySportz, never fear. We’ve got one tonight. And this time it’s personal. Come by ComedySportz (929 W Belmont Ave) at 10pm for all the festivities. Tickets are only $5, and there’s merrymaking and drinking games after the show.

The torture round is where each team ges to pick an obscene challenge for the other group. In our case it was a mutated version of the traditional game, Sit Stand Kneel.

In the original, one performer must always be sitting, one must always be standing, and the last must always be kneeling. In this version…

You can see the beginning of our BattleProv show too.

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.

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 [...]

Arbor Mist Football

Robert and Keith decided to have fun while I wasn’t home last month and apparently Marc filmed it.  Yup, that is Robert Hughes from Bollingbrook, Illinois and guy whose name we use to replace actual people’s names in our podcast.

What did you do with your time today?

Underground improv show

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

Rube Goldberg take 5b and Finale!

A while ago, without any explanation, I posted a pretty blank post about our silly attempt at a Rube Goldberg device. After some time (an hour or two) I forgot all about the other silly, more adventurous attempts. I posted takes 2 and 3 and takes 4 and 5a a few days ago, so check [...]
