Cut Baby Battles

The Second City does sketch shows like no other, but how do we decide which sketches to include and which not to? Is it possible, nay… probable, that the director could ever be wrong when choosing to cut a sketch? When you create a sketch, it becomes your baby. And who doesn’t love to see babies fighting? Come to the de Maat Studio Theater on Thursdays in July to see the Cut Baby Battles, where Second City alum perform their sketches that were cut from different shows to see which cut baby is the best one, for the final prize of getting to tell their director “YOU WERE WRONG! “

de Maat Studio Theatre - Chicago

Guest Performance,
These non-Second City productions are original works created and produced by guest performers and ensembles. With limited runs, these performances allow for complete creative freedom and may feature artists of any experience level.
Sketch Comedy
A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.
