Drawing inspiration from the pioneering improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City opened its doors in Chicago in December of 1959, sparking a comedy revolution. Co-founded by Bernie Sahlins, Howard Alk, and Spolin’s son Paull Sills, the small cabaret theater quickly evolved into the world’s most influential and prolific comedy empire. Known for its innovative approach to creating art, The Second City has created generation after generation of comedic talent.
The Second City’s original productions seamlessly blend sketch and improv, offering sharp satire, unexpected humor, and a one-of-a-kind experience with each performance.
