<p>Proudly celebrating 52 years in Toronto, The Second City presents their 90th Mainstage revue! <em>Duel Citizens</em> is a fast-paced comedy spectacle stacked with razor-sharp satire, hilarious songs, ridiculous characters and, of course, the signature improv comedy that The Second City is world famous for. Written and performed by a completely Canadian cast and crew, this show joyfully skewers politics, pop culture, and everything in between. From full-blown national tantrums to the absurdities of daily life, come laugh with The Second City as we turn chaos into comedy.</p>

<p>The Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue <em>This Too Shall Slap</em> is a wild sketch comedy show that spins the familiar into the absurd&#8230; and makes the absurd feel oddly familiar. Performed by a hilarious six-person ensemble who specialize in chaos, charm, and comedic whiplash, this show will keep you laughing, guessing, and possibly questioning your entire reality. Join us for a night where nothing is what it seems. Except the laughter. That’s real.<strong>  </strong></p>

<p>Are you ready for some heist-jinks? SWIPED Improvised Thievery’s crew of comedic criminals perform a 55-minute improvised longform set that pays homage to the highs and lows of the heist genre. All we need to get started is a suggestion of what outrageously valuable thing you’d like us to steal and the heist begins. SWIPED features loving references and tropes from your favorite heist media. Before your eyes, we’ll meet our mastermind, build their crew, and see what dangerous obstacles they must overcome to walk away with the prize.</p>
