The Intervention

The Intervention is part stand-up show, part therapy session nobody volunteered for.
Four comedians have been secretly signed up for Stand-Ups Anonymous by the people who know them best because apparently their weird obsessions, bad habits, and questionable life choices have finally gone too far.
Each comedian takes a turn in the hot seat as their issues are exposed, defended, and quickly turned into a full-on roast fest. Then they grab the mic and turn the whole mess into stand-up. Just hope you don’t end up in the hot seat.
Original sketch comedy, stand-up, surprise revelations, callbacks, and absolutely no personal growth guaranteed.

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.
Stand-up
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.
