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

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.

Except the laughter. That’s real.

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;

The Best of The Second City: Chicago Style

After scaring audiences across the nation, Yes, AHHH! is back for another improvised horror story. Spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming, and the open road calls. But not all destinations are as welcoming as they seem…
In Tourist Trap, travelers may stumble upon hidden gems—an idyllic town, a secluded festival, or an off-the-beaten-path attraction. The locals are so friendly. The customs are so charming. The experience is so immersive. But as the trip unfolds, the signs of something more sinister begin to surface. Will they make it out, or will they become part of the town’s dark traditions?
Inspired by folk horror/drama classics like Midsommar, White Lotus, and Cabin in the Woods, this fully improvised horror tale blends slow-burning dread with eerie humor, building to a finale that no one—audience or performers—sees coming. Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned traveler or just along for the ride, one thing is certain: in Tourist Trap, you will be staying… whether you like it or not.
