A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.

Ten Dollar Comedy

In a cuckoo-bananas world, sometimes we all just need a good ‘ol fashion 
morality check. It’s time for Ebenezer Scrooge to get another supernatural 
wake-up call.
Join us for a completely improvised retelling of the most classic holiday story of 
all &#8211; A Christmas Carol. Each night, the audience decides the moral lesson and 
the cast weaves the tale together to leave you laughing like the Dickens, while 
taking away some life lessons along the way. The show will be complete with 
flawed protagonists, ghosts ghosts ghosts, and ‘ol teeny tiny Timmy. Maybe you’ll 
see a story on kindness, patience, or not being rude to the wait staff. Whatever it 
is, A Christmas Carols is perfect for friends and family alike. So bring your holiday 
spirit and get ready to live, laugh, and love.

Improvised Christmas Carol

Low Key Lit is a new comedy show at the world famous Second City, which will feature improv and stand up comedy acts each week. You can expect some of the biggest names in comedy, locally and nationally, to perform in this amazing show. This is more than a comedy show, it is an experience. An experience, you don&#8217;t want to miss.
