<p>Fifth Floor Walkup is a fever dream of hysterical weirdness. It’s madcap, what-the heck-just-happened, screwball sketch comedy with a motley cast of The Second City and UCB-trained writer/performers. Fifth Floor stitches together a brand-new show every time with high-production theatrical sketches, original music, and digital shorts. Featuring: DW Ardern, Curtis Stevens, Graham McClanahan, Laura Lynn Lester, Mikayla Sherfy, Nick Adam Humphries, Ian McPhee, and Allison Love.</p>


The Second City New York Blackbox Theater

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.

Comedy Tonight

<p>The Infinite Wrench is a dynamic, mind-bending barrage of 30 original plays that the NY Neo-Futurists try to perform within a single hour. Each play offers something different, be it funny, profound, elegant, disgusting, topical, irrelevant, terrifying, or a song. All are truthful and tackle the here-and-now, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers. With new plays and new combinations of plays every performance, The Infinite Wrench is the Neo-Futurists’ ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance and challenge the fourth wall head-on.</p>
