The Second City began its life as The Second City Theatre, a comedy club which opened in 1959. The theater pioneered the style of comedy we now know as improv, where scenes and stories are made up on the spot. The theatre’s style became so popular that the theatre assembled touring companies in the 1960s, and by the mid-1970s some of the group’s alumni became the most popular comedians in the world.
Some of the group’s former and current members include John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, John Candy, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Stephen Colbert, and Tina Fey – just to name a few. In many ways, The Second City has helped define American comedy for over five decades.
The Best of the Second City pays homage to the group’s legendary history by featuring the best sketches and songs made famous by the Chicago-based improv group. The show features classic material from throughout the group’s decades of performances along with brand-new material and improvised segments. Tickets to The Best of the Second City usually range from $30 to $35, but Goldstar.com currently has 50% off tickets while they last.
