"The Best of Second City" to Open Lyceum Series
The Second City is one of the oldest and most infamous comedy empires, having been co-founded as a small cabaret theatre in Chicago in 1959 by Bernie Sahlins, Howard Alk and Paul Sills. After generations of success, the company is now home to iconic alumni including Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Keegan-Michael Key and many more.
In their show, The Second City will blend signature improv comedy with hilarious songs, classic characters and timeless sketches handpicked from their comedy archive and modernized by some of today’s boldest comedic voices.
