Proudly celebrating 52 years in Toronto, The Second City presents their 90th Mainstage revue! Duel Citizens is a fast-paced comedy spectacle stacked with razor-sharp satire, hilarious songs, ridiculous characters and, of course, the signature improv comedy that The Second City is world famous for. Written and performed by a completely Canadian cast and crew, this show joyfully skewers politics, pop culture, and everything in between. From full-blown national tantrums to the absurdities of daily life, come laugh with The Second City as we turn chaos into comedy.

Duel Citizens

In 2024, Nam &amp; Aaron both competed on Jeopardy! and came back with some prize money and a permanent monkey on their backs, and now they&#8217;re here to tell you their stories of growing up nerdy &amp; striving for game show glory.
If you think you have what it takes, show up early and volunteer to be one of two challengers from the audience &#8211; each performance ends with a trivia face-off featuring all-new clues where either Nam or Aaron will prove they&#8217;re still smarter than you, or you win $100.
