Spotlight at the Second City is a new series from Taylor Hreljac & Gabe Meacher that celebrates sketch comedy’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.

January’s show features 24 DOUBLE B and CHEAP WINE!
Hosted by Taylor Hreljac & Gabe Meacher

24 DOUBLE B
24 Double B? Let’s just say these two gen Z teenagers took the world by storm with their unpredictably predictable improv, then didn’t did it again with their sketch. Don’t believe us? Neither do we. These two millennials won Sketchiest Sketch troupe at the 2024 Toronto Sketch Festival with their off kilter but respectful style of sketch. This show marks their triumphant return to where the two met 7 years ago in a similar but not exactly the same Second City building. With an all new show with a lot of the same disrespectful themes the two (siblings) are excited to discover what this show is for them and you! Sit back and enjoy 24 Double B presents: a second try at a Conservatory Grad show.

CHEAP WINE
Cheap Wine has been described as: “the perfect blend of deadpan and whackadoodle”, “successfully unique”, “joyfully absurdist”, “raunchy and fun”, “so fully alienating that I dissociated”. Cheap Wine is family. For real. As in, two of them have the same parents and two of them have a marriage certificate. That’s fun and wholesome, but also kind of weird. This is their first time on the Second City stage and they’re so jazzed. They won the Audience Choice Award for the 2025 Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, but this is an all new show so we’ll see what happens!
