Chicago

Queers and Fears is a wickedly funny sketch comedy revue where the monsters are gay, the closets have skeletons, and the only thing we have to fear is our own internalized homophobia. From cursed hookups to ghost stories about being ghosted, this spooky celebration of queer survival blends sharp satire with blood-stained glitter. Come laugh, scream, and sashay into the shadows—because in this show, pride is a scream.

Guest Performance

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.

This Too Shall Slap

“The Process” is a raw, hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at stand-up in motion. Every week, comics test new jokes, refine old ones and reveal the beautiful chaos of finding funny. No sets are final. No notes are off limits. It’s stand-up, mid-sentence. Come watch the mess turn into magic

The Process

Low Key Lit Wednesdays is a new comedy show at the world famous Second City, which will feature improv and stand up comedy acts each week. You can expect some of the biggest names in comedy, locally and nationally, to perform in this amazing show. This is more than a comedy show, it is an experience. An experience, you don&#8217;t want to miss.
