The Bentwood Open

The Second City is throwing the ultimate comedy party to celebrate 65 years of legendary laughs! The Best of The Second City: 65 Years of Funny brings together hilarious songs, unforgettable characters, and iconic sketches written for our stages by comedy greats like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Catherine O’Hara, Keegan-Michael Key, Stephen Colbert, and so many more. Now, these classics are reimagined and brought to life by the funniest live comedy performers working today. Buckle up for a high-energy rollercoaster through six and a half decades of revolutionary satire and groundbreaking improv comedy.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or discovering Second City for the first time, this is your chance to be part of the cutting-edge comedy tradition that’s been setting the bar for over half a century. Join us and see why The Second City is the past, present, and future of comedy.
