Skip your balanced breakfast and go straight for the good stuff!
New Nonsense brings to the stage a show highlighting its best bits, blackouts, and laugh-out-loud characters that are finally ready for primetime. This fast-paced show blends the characters of long-form sketch comedy with the quick hits of short-form blackouts and bits. The show features character callbacks across various sketches, musical performances, and improvised scenes.
Judy's Beat Lounge - Chicago
Guest Performance,
These non-Second City productions are original works created and produced by guest performers and ensembles. With limited runs, these performances allow for complete creative freedom and may feature artists of any experience level.
Sketch Comedy,
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.
Variety
This show is a mixture of performance genres. It could range from stand up, to sketch, to music, or anything in between.
