Spotlight at the Second City is a new series from Taylor Hreljac &amp; Gabe Meacher that celebrates sketch comedy&#8217;s best troupes. Each month, The Second City will open its doors to the next generation of sketch by putting the spotlight on two of our favourite sketch troupes. Audiences will get to enjoy a double-header sketch show: two acts, one amazing night of fresh comedy.
May&#8217;s show features JANELLE MCGUINNESS and DEBIT-CASH-OR-CREDIT 
&#8212;
About the Acts
Janelle McGuinness is a Toronto-based comedian and actor. Having toured her last solo show &#8216;Self Made (still in the making)&#8217; across Canada to the west coast, Janelle is thrilled to be back on the Second City stage! A Best of Fringe winning writer and performer, Janelle has prepared a fresh half hour of solo sketch hosted by her 1920s-esque cabaret singer character that is putting the &#8216;Great&#8217; back in Great Depression. With views in the millions on her social media comedy sketches, this is a show you&#8217;re not going to want to miss!
DEBIT-CASH-OR-CREDIT (Mike Jankovich, Emma Friedman, and Paul Smith) is a new-generation Toronto sketch troupe. After officially forming in 2025, DCC has since performed at The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2024 and 2025, were finalists of 2025’s Sketch-to-the-Death, and won “Dumbest Sketch in North America” at Cam Wylie&#8217;s Sketch Comedy Invitational. With their biting and genre-bending satire, this group doesn&#8217;t just toe the line; they straight-up curb-stomp it! So prepare to laugh and prepare to squirm, because they&#8217;ll be sure to have you running a tab.
