Glen FarrellyFebruary 23, 2016Less well known than their famous shows for adults are their special shows for kids. They are really great for kids and adults.
ZipcarJune 6, 2011Everyone needs a gut-busting laugh once in a while, and The Second City is the perfect spot. Their sketch comedy is off the wall. (Make sure to stick around for the improv at the end of the night!)
FinnairDecember 20, 2011Originated in Chicago this Comedy club has made people laugh for more than half a century. Legends such as Ryan Stiles and Mike Myers have started their career here. We guarantee you good laughs!
Martin PrebioApril 3, 2017Great show! Also suitable for non English speaking tourists as the actors speak very clearly.
RobertAugust 23, 2014Nice improv sessions! Decent finger food and beer. Nice night out with your friends before starting a party
Toronto Entertainment DistrictJanuary 21, 2011Students tickets at Second City are only $15. Check out the Second City Improv Class for only $5 each Monday at 6:00pm. Also Second City Gift Cards can be redeemed for tickets, food, or drinks!
GeorgiaFebruary 27, 2012If you're an audience member sitting in the centre aisle, you may get pulled into the show ;) Enjoy!
Joe BagodonutsOctober 7, 2019They will not tolerate crowd disturbance and they will ask you to leave. I would say if you plan to be a professional comedian you should be able to handle heckling from the crowd.- Jason HafsoOctober 20, 2013Great value for a comedy night out. You can order tickets in advance online.
Sean LynchApril 5, 2011I've been to every regular show for the past 3 years, and they keep the hits coming! If laughter is a cure, this place is full of the top surgeons in the city!
If you get the Garlic Bread with Cheese ask for the marinara dip. It's $1.00 and worth it!
Bring your student ID & you'll get in for $15!! Better than Tron - although Tron was fun...but we're funnier...seriously
Randy MathesonOctober 21, 2009Had a great night out at Second City, face and sides hurt from laughing by intermission time. Go Thurs & Sat for free improv after themain show
Reza EvolMarch 31, 2013Bring a change of pants, urinating from laughter is possible.... Not saying that happened to me... :|

- Glen FarrellyAugust 19, 2010Their kids shows are hilarious and the best deal on kids' theatre in the city!
