Millennials and Gen X comics go head-to-head in a battle for generational bragging rights. Featuring a rotating lineup of comedians you’ve seen on HBO, Netflix,  Last Comic Standing, and more.   The laughs are real, the trash talk is inevitable, and the audience decides the winner.  
Hosted by Todd Glover

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.

Guest Performance

An always popular form in which a comedian performs their unique brand of comedy, usually with nothing more than a mic and their own courage. If you enjoy a rapid-fire night of jokes and stories, a stand-up show might be the perfect fit.

The Second City&#8217;s 114th Mainstage Revue Pandemonium, Please Hold is a loud, fast, and gloriously unhinged night of comedic mayhem. The Second City’s six-person cast cranks the amps and stage dives headfirst into the chaos with blistering sketch comedy, unpredictable improv, explosive live music, and absolutely zero chill. Cathartic and wildly funny, brace for pandemonium and join us for a night of full-volume hilarity. Come scream into the abyss with us.

Pandemonium, Please Hold

Second City mainstage alumni Nancy McCabe-Kelly, Tim Kazurinsky and Bruce Jarchow, joined by Bert Kelly Jarchow, reunite for an evening of classic scenes from their era and beyond. They are excited to revisit these enduring scenes and relive with you treasured moments from those years, ending with a group improv game where fellow alums in attendance are encouraged to join them on stage.
After attending far too many gatherings where they found themselves both laughing and crying, they decided to have an evening without the crying. Like a memorial service…but nobody died.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Chicago Training Center Scholarship Funds.
