General Info
Enjoy the best in Chicago-style sketch and improv comedy in one of the city’s most popular comedy theaters. The Second City is six-decade-old and is where the likes of Tina Fey and Steve Carrell shot to stardom. A classic revue in the club is made up of original sketches and songs accompanied by their world-famous improv, which typically relies on audience participation. If that’s not your piece of cake, make sure you get seats at the back of the room. You might want to arrive early to grab dinner and walk around Chicago’s historic Old Town before the show. – TripadvisorEnjoy the best in Chicago-style sketch and improv comedy in one of the city’s most popular comedy theaters.

This is where Saturday Night Live came from. Some of the best live comedy you'll see. No trip to chicago is complete without a visit here.
Very entertaining. This is the original improv. It's like being part of the audience of Saturday Night Live. Very good chance that the actors will eventually be on SNL... just look at the walls... you'll see many famous comedians who got their break at Second City.
