We here at Octavarius love to bring all of you sexy, sexy readers, new, fun things to experience.  Often we bring you silly nonsense that has no point whatsoever, sometimes you get top notch political satire, and sometimes you just get pictures of Will Smith…

But now we’d like to show you some of the other groups in Chicago that we, ourselves enjoy and support!

Our first Artist Spotlight goes to the all female, all Kate (or cate, cait, etc.) named group, The Katydids.

These are The Katydids. Aren't they just adorable?!

The Katydids are
Caitlin Barlow
Katy Colloton
Cate Freedman
Kate Lambert
Katie O’Brien
Katie Thomas

The Katydids have only been around for a little over a year (I think), but have quickly become a dominating force of female improvisers.  They have two runs coming up this fall, one at iO Chicago, where they will be performing Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. from August 19th to September 30th, and also a four week run starting August 29th every sunday night at 8pm at Donny’s Skybox at Second City.

They also pump out hilarious sketches that can be found on their youtube page!

Here is just a taste of their hilarity.

I really love their bizarre sense of humor and hope you all love it too!

The Katydids will also be performing at the Del Close Marathon in NY on July 31.  So, if you are out there, go check them out!  For more of their comedy stylings, head on over to their facebook page or their website, www.thekatydids.com
