We used to like the sound of this world. In 2025, there’s less “yes ands” and more “no buts”. So, we stand looking over the horizon of a location-based improv suggestion and realize…. There really is no country for sad weirdos. Shed a tear with us, buckaroo, and how about you laugh while you’re here too. Ya hear?

Second City New York Mainstage

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.

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.

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.
On June 27/28 join us for our annual Pride-themed specialty show. We&#8217;ll bring 30 of our favorite, queerest plays to the Second City blackbox and perform them in a 60-minute race-against the clock: <a href="https://www.secondcity.com/shows/new-york/the-infinite-pride-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><button> Get Pride Tickets! </button></a>
