<p>The Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue <em>This Too Shall Slap</em> 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.<strong>  </strong></p>

This Too Shall Slap

<p>Strap in and spiral out – The Second City’s 49th e.t.c. Revue takes sketch and improv comedy to brilliantly unhinged new heights. <em>The Chaos Theory of Everything </em>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.</p>

Wheel of Improv

<div class="ewa-rteLine">Blue Text Bubbles slid into the DMs of a handful of comedians that they love, respect, and maybe have a little crush on&#8230; and invited them to open our show. 😘</div>
<div class="ewa-rteLine">But, there&#8217;s a twist! At the end of the night, after Blue Text Bubbles performs, we play matchmakers. 💘</div>
<div class="ewa-rteLine"></div>
<div class="ewa-rteLine">That&#8217;s right! We end the night with a fast-paced collection of scenes where any performer is fair game. To start each scene, Blue Text Bubbles will get a new suggestion and immediately &#8220;cast&#8221; any number of the night&#8217;s performers to improvise it for you. We love playing hard to get! 😈</div>


The Sneaky Link
