Comedy 4 Charity

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.  
Group of 16 or more? We’ll make it easy: <a href="https://www.secondcity.com/group-events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contact Us for Group Events</a>

This Too Shall Slap

After getting a single suggestion, the cast of six professional comedians asks the audience to choose a detective. Enjoy as they invent a tale of crime, secrets, and scandals right before your eyes. The performers will keep track of facts, follow leads, and conclude who is the murderer, all while you take in a comedy experience unlike any you’ve seen before. During the show, they’ll employ the tropes, character archetypes, and influences of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, Nick and Nora Charles, Encyclopedia Brown, and just a dash of Scooby-Doo.

Clued In

Ever heard of this show &#8220;Hamilton&#8221;?
Shamilton is just like that, but (ahem) better! Expect the same level of hip hop, incredible songs, moving storytelling, stunning choreography and powerhouse singing&#8230; except made up on the spot.
The New York Times called Shamilton “One of the top 5 comedy shows to catch”.
Comedy supergroup Baby Wants Candy presents &#8220;Shamilton!&#8221;, the Hamilton-inspired hip hop improvised musical created in 2016 in LA and playing to sold out crowds all over the place, including the Kennedy Center in DC, a national touring company and weekly sold out shows in New York and LA.
Join the Shamilton cast as they improvise an epic musical based on a historical figure or celebrity of your choosing&#8230;including Genghis Khan, Kim Kardashian, Mr. Rogers, or even basketball playing superdog Air Bud. You decide!
It&#8217;s the show Lin-Manuel Miranda calls, &#8220;cease and desist!&#8221;
