The Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue This Too Shall Slap 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.

Wheel of Improv

Find out for yourself why The Second City has been the first name in laughter for over sixty years! From the stages that launched the careers of Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and more comes the next generation of comedy superstars.
The Best of The Second City features some of the best sketch comedy and songs from our comedy vaults updated for the modern era, as well as some of our newest classics and our trademark improvisation performed by The Second City Touring Company’s best and brightest…and funniest!

Best of The Second City

Laugh Now, Therapy Later is a comedy show for anyone who knows that sometimes the only way through the chaos is to crack a joke first and deal with the feelings after. This isn’t polite, tidy sketch comedy &#8211; it’s raw, ridiculous, and a little too real. Our comics dive headfirst into the awkward, the painful, and the downright absurd parts of life, spinning them into punchlines that make you laugh so hard you forget you were supposed to be sad. It’s comedy for the catastrophes, humor for the heartbreaks, and a reminder that even in the middle of a meltdown, there’s always something worth laughing at. Come for the jokes. Stay for the catharsis. Just don’t forget to book your therapist after the show.

Laugh Now, Therapy Later

Enjoy as skill and talent unfolds before you.  Professional comedians, musicians, dancers, and much more come together to dazzle and display the endless possibilities of Chicago theatre.
The comedy is side-splitting, the culture is strong, and the pleasure is all ours.  On any night you might see, Ballet, Stand-Up, Mexican Folk Music, Circus acts, or even my Mom!
Our show stands in the footsteps of Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Tim Robinson, Amy Poehler, Tim Meadows and the countless rest who have trained and started right here.
