Welcome to Mount Olympus like you&#8217;ve never seen it before. Olympus Has Fallen (And It Can&#8217;t Get Up) transforms the epic tales of Greek mythology into an hour of comedy that proves even immortal beings can&#8217;t escape life&#8217;s most ridiculous moments. From Pandora&#8217;s Box to Hercules&#8217; adventures, this show has just enough mythological accuracy to make your high school English teacher proud. So grab your thunderbolts and goblets and join us for an hour fit for the Gods.

A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.

Are you ready for some heist-jinks? SWIPED Improvised Thievery’s crew of comedic criminals perform a 55-minute improvised longform set that pays homage to the highs and lows of the heist genre. All we need to get started is a suggestion of what outrageously valuable thing you’d like us to steal and the heist begins. SWIPED features loving references and tropes from your favorite heist media. Before your eyes, we’ll meet our mastermind, build their crew, and see what dangerous obstacles they must overcome to walk away with the prize.

SWIPED Improvised Thievery

Go All-In on longform improv with host team Lavalier. Six teams play for a chance to win completely worthless prizes awarded by our esteemed panel of improv judges, followed by a performance by the judges themselves. Seven teams, six weeks, two hours of hilarious improv comedy. Nothing has been scripted or prepared in advance. It will all be made up before your very eyes!
