Sketch and the City

The Second City celebrates year one in New York with a high-energy mix of our signature improv comedy alongside hilarious songs, classic characters, and vintage sketches – handpicked from our comedy archive, written by some of the funniest minds on the planet, and remixed by Brooklyn’s boldest comedic voices.

From the stages that launched icons like Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Keegan-Michael Key, and so many more comes Sketch and The City performed by our unstoppable New York cast. Step into the comedy legacy that’s been changing the game for 65 years.

Second City New York Mainstage

Improv,
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.
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.
