The Second City’s Improv Supernova: e.t.c. 50th Revue

The Black Excellence Revue brings the heat with a high-energy celebration of Black joy, featuring new songs, bold sketches, and The Second City’s iconic improv. With a hilarious, brilliant cast leading the charge, it’s a can’t-miss night of laughter &#8211; and a perfect break from the Chicago cold.

Black and Highly Flavored: A Black Excellence Comedy Revue

Step into the chaos of late-night energy with The Call It a Night Show, a live mashup of sharp-edged sketch comedy and killer stand-up that doesn’t play it safe. Think the vibe of a classic late-night show, but stripped down, turned up, and injected with bold, modern humor. Every show is a fast-paced ride through absurd sketches, fearless jokes, and unexpected moments that keep the audience on their toes. It’s smart, it’s edgy, and it’s the perfect way to call it a night.
