THE SECOND CITY CELEBRATES 65 YEARS OF LAUGHTER

$19.59 Tickets For Select Shows Across All Three Cities

CHICAGO | TORONTO | NEW YORK – On a snowy December night in 1959, The Second City opened its doors for the first time, beginning a comedic revolution that would change improv and live sketch comedy forever. In the six and a half hilarious decades since, The Second City has become an iconic comedy institution, launching the careers of countless comedic legends and consistently building the next generation of comedic talent.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, The Second City is throwing a yearlong celebration, offering specially priced $19.59 tickets to select shows in New York, Chicago, and Toronto. For 65 years, our incredible audiences have filled our theaters with laughter. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone together and look forward to welcoming a new wave of comedy lovers into the fold.

Chief Revenue & Operating Officer Parisa Jalili reflected on the company’s enduring legacy: “We’ve been a part of so many people’s memories over the past 65 years. Together, our performers, staff, and audiences have created an unparalleled legacy, which makes this celebration feel so special. This anniversary wouldn’t have been possible without our audiences.

Join the celebration and experience the hilarity of The Second City! In honor of The Second City’s founding year, tickets for Thursday night performances are priced at just $19.59. Enjoy the e.t.c. show in Chicago, the Mainstage show in Toronto, or the Mainstage show in New York —all at this special anniversary price until November 20, 2025. Secure your tickets now to be part of this unforgettable milestone! Tickets are available online or at each city’s box office.
