The Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue This Too Shall Slap 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.

This Too Shall Slap

Strap in and spiral out – The Second City’s 49th e.t.c. Revue takes sketch and improv comedy to brilliantly unhinged new heights. The Chaos Theory of Everything blends razor-sharp satire, audience interaction, and clever, character-driven comedy to explore how wildly connected (and deeply chaotic) it all really is. Smart, hilarious, and full of surprises, this is one laughter-filled ride you won’t want to miss.

The Chaos Theory of Everything

Wheel of Improv

Step inside a world of wills, trusts, and deadly secrets in the improvised comedy: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way. Inspired by Agatha Christie, seven improvisers will weave together a made-up murder mystery, sparked by the audience&#8217;s suggestion of an unusual inherited object. Who will uncover the secrets and who will pay the price? In this family nothing is certain &#8230; except that someone won&#8217;t make it out alive.
Savagely funny and shockingly intelligent, Clued In is “infectiously fun” (Marissa Oberlander, The Chicago Reader). High Stakes Productions is collaborating with the world famous Second City to bring this thrilling and hilarious improvised experience to life and this is your opportunity to claim your seat for this immersive theatre experience. Each show someone new will be done-in, can you figure out who dunnit alongside the detective?

Clued In: Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way

Don&#8217;t you miss TV before Netflix, with all the wacky commercials trying to sell you things? And what about staying up to watch late night shows and cheesy sitcom? Well you’re in luck, because this hour long show – hosted by Chloe Noteboom and Eli Chamberlin – brings you back in time to watch an improvised hour of old school TV!
Tune in each week to see our comedy talk show, Faux and Friends (with a new special guest every week!) along with an improvised “two-prov” sitcom! And don’t forget about the whimsical commercial breaks! Be there or be square (cuz like old TVs used to be square lol).

MUST SEE TV

Starship Edsel is and improvised farce set aboard Stafleet&#8217;s worst vessel, the USS Edsel. Plagued with mechanical problems and design flaws, and filled with Starfleet&#8217;s most problematic personnel, the Edsel was assigned to remain in parking orbit above a vacation planet, ordered to give VIP&#8217;s tours of an &#8220;authentic Federation Starship.&#8221; After an incursion by the Romulan Empire, the Edsel was thrust into the center of a galactic crisis. Starship Edsel follows the ship and her crew on their subsequent misadventures around the galaxy.

Starship Edsel: An Improvised Star Trek Satire

Good evening &#8211; you are formally invited to attend a murder-mystery improv show like you’ve never seen before. This talented cast of veteran improvisers will each embody an established character, live within an established world, and one of them will commit a murder &#8211; but who will it be? That part is up to you, dear reader. Come find out… who killed improv?

Who Killed Improv?

Welcome to Short Story Time! A debut short-form improv show that 
takes wholesome chaos to delightfully off-topic new depths.
Equal parts heartfelt and half-true, this short-form improv ride is filled with games, scenes, and soft-spoken wisdom that nobody asked for, but everyone needs.

Short Story Time!

Join the CinEvil Society as they search for the world&#8217;s most evil film! Be the test audience as your villainous host screens a select horror movie to see if it can terrify you into submission. Unfortunately, the aging VHS tapes used to copy these fiendish films from late night tv in the 80’s have degraded over the years, and the missing scenes must be re-created by a cast of damned improvisers freshly summoned from the netherworld. Even though they’ve never seen the original movie. What creature will feature next? The hungry C.H.U.D.? The groovy Ghoulies? Or the big balls of Phantasm? Dare to buy a ticket to this late night fright and find out!
