Best of The Second City

“Stand up and Scribble ” is a fast-paced, 60 minute stand-up comedy showdown where five comics each perform a tight individual 5–6 minute set while the remaining comics draw live on stage, racing the clock and each other. When the pencils stop, the audience votes the best finished portrait and chooses the worst one to be dramatically torn on stage, blending comedy, art, and creative destruction into one unforgettable spectacle
