Known for their impeccable musicality and unique brand of humor, The Other Guys are the University of Illinois’ premiere men’s A Cappella group. Since their inception during the 1968-69 school year, The Other Guys have evolved from an amusing diversion to a popular, high profile, international traveling group of goodwill ambassadors. The current group continues to build on a tradition characterized by musicianship, comedic spontaneity, and time-honored dignity.

The Other Guys perform at over 100 different venues a year, as well as every Varsity Men’s Glee Club concert. Their resume includes appearing at Chicago’s United Center, Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, New York City’s famed Gotham Comedy Club, the Broadway production of “Grease,” command performances in Washington, D.C., Google Headquarters, Lucasfilm Inc., Roger Ebert’s 10th Annual Film Festival, copious alumni events throughout the country, and numerous shows in Europe. Experience for yourself what some call the most unique collegiate A Capella group in the world.

The Illinois Alumni Club has reserved a room upstairs at the Spaghetti Warehouse at 901 Commerce Street (downtown), with plenty of free parking in the adjoining lot and on the street. The private dinner buffet is only $19 per person (tax, and gratuity included), which includes your choice of:
