Second City opened as a small cabaret theater on a snowy night in Chicago in December 1959. And it spawned a comedy revolution, fostering a generation of superstars, such as Alan Arkin and Joan Rivers.
The Second City on Tour features the next generation of comic greats performing sketches and songs and off-the-cuff improvisation addressing contemporary American culture. No subject is off limits whether it be the battles of the sexes or the battles at the voting booth.
