Guest Performance

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.

Stop Trying to Make Sketch Happen

What if your favorite movie was set in Chicago?
Flicks like Jaws, Titanic, and Trolls World Tour are deserving of sequels in The Second City, and we need your help to build the script. Come and enjoy a night out where we improvise a movie sequel of your choosing! From dramas to rom-coms, we are open to all, so you never know what might happen next. The retelling and reimaging of your favorite characters from the cinema will happen live, leaving you to wonder if movie sequels really should exist. Take the night off to enjoy the next big summer blockbuster where, of course, there will be previews.
