Improv

An always popular form in which a comedian performs their unique brand of comedy, usually with nothing more than a mic and their own courage. If you enjoy a rapid-fire night of jokes and stories, a stand-up show might be the perfect fit.

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

This Too Shall Slap

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;

SHAMILTON, THE IMPROVISED HIP-HOP AMERICAN MUSICAL!

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

The Best of The Second City: Chicago-Style is a laugh-out-loud love letter to the Windy City.

These hilarious songs, unforgettable characters, and iconic sketches are reimagined and brought to life by a ridiculously funny cast of live comedy pros.
Whether you&#8217;re visiting Chicago or born and raised in Wrigleyville (our deepest condolences), this show is your comedic cheat sheet to all things Chicago.
