Come open &#8220;Presents&#8221; with Dinner for One! In this interactive holiday sketch show, audience members open presents containing props that determine the setlist for the night.
Hosted around the holiday piano, the Dfor1 gang will need a Christmas wish and a Hanukkah miracle to remember all one hundred sketches. Come celebrate Sketch-mas this year with wigs, laughter and chaos!

Second City New York Mainstage

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

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.

Everything Festive All At Once: An Improvised Holiday Spectacular-er

Bitter Ambrosia is a blasphemous retelling of the Garden of Eden that subverts the biblical narrative into one of queer acceptance and trans joy. This musical rendition shows the origins of the Snake, a fallen angel who journeys through Hell, making revelations about sin, piety, and gender expression along the way. Rather than vilifying the Snake for his seduction of Eve, Bitter Ambrosia commends him for attempting to save her from an ill-fated life of pious subservience. This original story celebrates different expressions of queerness and the trans experience, through boylesque, aerial lyra, circus hoops, live singing, and comedy. Continue the night with us and our partners, Flowtopia NYC, for an after-party full of music, dancing, and good energy until 2am. All flow arts props welcomed!
