Tired of looking over your shoulder before telling a funny story that might upset grandpa? Or are you still rebounding from that joke he told at your wedding? Why stress!? Let The Second City take all the risk while you sit back and laugh at their latest sketch comedy and improv revue, Look Both Ways Before Talking. They’ll put their signature spin on the things you wish you could bring up in mixed company–just be careful who you share them with when you head back to the office!

Second City revues feature a mix of semi-improvised and scripted scenes with new material developed during unscripted improv sessions, where scenes are created based on audience suggestions.  Since its debut in 1959, the Second City has been a starting point for comedians and award-winning actors such as Bill MurrayJohn CandyTina FeyAmy PoehlerSteve CarellStephen Colbert, and Cecily Strong among many others.  Edgy, thought-provoking and always spectacularly funny,​ The Second City is celebrating nearly six decades of producing cutting-edge satirical revues and launching the careers of generation after generation of comedy’s best and brightest.
