<div>Your taste in movies is questionable. The staff would love to discuss it.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Trash Panda Comedy presents Unkind Rewind, a sharp, nostalgia-fuelled sketch revue set among the shelves of a video store. Through the eyes of its employees, pop culture gets a performance review, Hollywood’s greatest hits face fresh scrutiny, and your favourite films may never look quite the same.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Following appearances at the Toronto Sketch Festival in 2025 and 2026, the Trash Pandas bring their acclaimed blend of high-quality production and “funny, deep and true” comedy to Second City, December 17, 18 &amp; 19.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Featuring Luis Escobar, Michelle Righetti, Aaron Dickie, Cam Killingsworth, Maria Michelli, Mark Brombacher, Matt Sidowski and Heather Dancey, with stand-up comedian Laura Scarlett opening the show.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Some classics deserve another watch. Others deserve whatever’s coming to them.</div>


John Candy Box Theatre - Toronto

These non-Second City productions are original works created and produced by guest performers and ensembles. With limited runs, these performances allow for complete creative freedom and may feature artists of any experience level.

Guest Performance

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.

Sketch Comedy

Trash Panda Presents: Unkind Rewind

<div>Spotlight at The Second City is a monthly series from Taylor Hreljac &amp; Gabe Meacher celebrating the best in Toronto sketch comedy and the next generation of comedic voices.</div>
<div></div>
<div>November brings you two fresh sketch acts!</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>TIK TOK BOOM</strong></div>
<div>TIK TOK BOOM is a show where time is on no one’s side. Every sketch clocks in at two minutes or less, delivering bite-sized, TikTok-inspired blasts of absurdity, satire and surprise. Smart, silly, and unapologetically fast — TIK TOK BOOM is what happens when comedy meets chaos, and there&#8217;s no time to explain. Get ready for a rapid-fire roller coaster of laughs.</div>
<div>The cast features comedians Madeleine Brown, Kent Penaranda, Aaron Rubinoff, Miho Suzuki and Kitty Zhang. The troupe has had recent noteworthy appearances at Toronto Sketchfest, Sketch to the Death, Sketch @ Rivoli, and Montreal Sketchfest. Their individual credits as writers and performers include comedy festivals, theatre, film, and television worldwide.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>SARAH CONWAY</strong></div>
<div>Sarah Conway brings mischief and delight to the stage in a sort of Montana&#8217;s Ultimate Appetizer Combo of sketch comedy that includes characters, music, burlesque, and, of course, several wonderful dips. Her new half-hour balances real vulnerability with fast-paced absurdity. True to her alternative comedy roots, Sarah’s work is earnest, inventive, and deeply silly. She has performed solo sketch on stages across the country and won this year’s Sketch To The Death competition in Toronto. As an actor, she has performed in classical comedies like The Flying Doctor (Perchance Theatre) and one-woman dramas like The Shape of a Girl (Green Thumb Theatre). Sarah plays Officer Taylor O’Neill on CityTV’s Hudson &amp; Rex. She has appeared on CBC’s Son of a Critch as both Reporter and Local Reporter. sarahconway.ca @sketch.yes</div>
