Chicago

Step into the chaos of late-night energy with The Call It a Night Show, a live mashup of sharp-edged sketch comedy and killer stand-up that doesn’t play it safe. Think the vibe of a classic late-night show, but stripped down, turned up, and injected with bold, modern humor. Every show is a fast-paced ride through absurd sketches, fearless jokes, and unexpected moments that keep the audience on their toes. It’s smart, it’s edgy, and it’s the perfect way to call it a night.

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

Characters, scenes, and songs created on the spot by our ensemble and based on your suggestions. You never know what might happen next...and neither do they! An improv show at The Second City is a lively, interactive event featuring the best improvisers in the world.

Improv

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.

Sketch Comedy

This show is a mixture of performance genres. It could range from stand up, to sketch, to music, or anything in between.
