The Katydids

Thumb_katydids

The Katydids are a six member ensemble of some of Chicago’s best up and coming female performers whose names all happen to be derived from Katherine. They use personal experiences as a launching pad to create unapologetic, playful, and relationship- based improvisation. In addition to improvisation and sketch comedy, they are known for creating and producing successful short videos, some of which have been featured in The Huffington Post, MTV.com, College Humor, The Chicago Sun Times blog and as an official selection in the Chicago Short Comedy Video and Film Festival. The Katydids have been seen in New York City for the Del Close Marathon at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and in Los Angeles at iO West. They are based out of iO Chicago (formerly Improv Olympic) and their improv is coached by The Second City Mainstage alumnus Anthony LeBlanc.
