About Octavarius
Octavarius has created the fastest growing comedy show in Chicago, with a new and unique way to present sketches, improv and comedy music. Their current run (Sundays at 7pm at ComedySportz through February 26) totals 35 weeks and is one of the longest running independent improv shows at the theatre. Each show has a theme (like The Trial of the O'Leary Cow, A Titanic of a Heartbreak: The Unsinkable Valentine's Day Show, etc.) for which the group and audience dress up. Videos, improv, sketches and music inspired by the week's theme come together to create a completely unique show each week.

The Monday before each show, Octavarius hosts a live interactive podcast, where they explore the week's theme. They also create videos, music, blog posts on their site and more! The group lives and breathes comedy and is split into two apartments where they reside together. For more information, visit www.Octavarius.com.
