Private Parties in Chicago

Laughter is best when shared with others. Comedy shows are great, but they are even better when you have the whole theater to yourself and your friends, family or coworkers. A private event at The Second City is a great option for hosting your next party. Each of our three theaters can hold anywhere from 50 to 500 people, seven nights a week!

Whatever Your Event, We Can Accommodate

If you are planning a social event for a large group of friends, a networking outing or a family celebration, host it in a venue that is a piece of Chicago history. The Second City is known for providing more than 50 years of laughs to locals and tourists alike. Regardless of the occasion, your guests will appreciate the entertainment of a private comedy show. In the past, we have been the setting for various events including the following:

• Fundraisers
• Student field trips
• Office outings

Our staff is ready, willing and able to help you determine the course of action for your event.

We Can Also Cater!

Whether the event takes place during the day or in the evening, chances are your guests will be hungry. The Second City has its own in-house catering company, with a chef who prepares everything from scratch with fresh ingredients. You can view our menus, all of which can be customized to your liking, on our website. Depending on your crowd and specific needs, we can serve a full meal (breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner), pass around appetizers, set up a buffet or provide smaller table snacks. The decision is completely up to you

In addition to the food, we can arrange beverage service in any of our three theaters, with full wait-staff available to take orders and serve.
