Cheap tickets are available for the 11pm show. Always a good time
Carol PhillipsMarch 12, 2010"The Taming of the Flu" is sidesplitter funny. The current cast of six lives up to the high SC standards. I'd go ahead. Tickets just $27 but drinks and t-shirts can get pricey. Love Bicycle cops skit.
Jeff RinggenbergAugust 28, 2010Reality is funnier than fiction and unintentional comedy is the best kind of comedy. These performers demonstrate just those things with their brilliant comedic skills!
Tori MouleMarch 23, 2013So funny! I would highly recommend for something to do for a girls night or a date!
Alan CordovaNovember 11, 2010If you're with friends on a popular night, get there early; while it's one of the bigger comedy clubs, good seats go quickly.
Howard BergDecember 27, 2010been coming here for 25 years and the shows are always side splitting. for best seats get here early and sit on the "rail"
DJ RuffRyd / Hardy BoiiJanuary 15, 2013Unless you really want the souvenir glass, save your money. The free refills are hard to come by if you never see your server again until the end of the show.
Ben GaspariniOctober 7, 2016Very funny and creative. Heavy on the political agenda though and most of those jokes were not creative.

Mark ParkerFebruary 28, 2015Ladies Night was a raucous unapologetic look at the daily bullshit these ladies face on the reg.
Phoebe VenkatJune 24, 2013Such fun! What a hardworking ensemble. The Second City > current SNL (easily)
Dana DanielleMarch 27, 2013" 101 Revue "was surprisingly hilarious! Better than "We are all in this room together"! Drinks are over priced.
Nikki KanterJanuary 28, 2012Little disappointed the cast was telling jokes a year old. Trust me, it's not hard to adapt jokes to make them current. Comics do it all the time and it is even easier with a cast to brainstorm.
Wynne JacobsonMay 8, 2015Hey The Second City, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
Pattee FletcherAugust 23, 2010Laff till your stomach hurts. John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd are among famous alums. A Chicago must see!
Alexander BeaverhousenMay 14, 2012I took classes there and it was the best time of my life end of story.
Tom ArmstrongMay 20, 2010The show was amazing. The improv after was just as good. Definitely worth the time. Laughed my ass off.
TopGolf BearSeptember 28, 2011True Story: I auditioned here once; you’d be surprised at how no one appreciates a mime anymore.
Kyle PendletonJanuary 6, 2011Yelp! offers says free cheesecake if you mention you saw it on their app...AWESOME, it's LEGIT!!!
Will LonghiniNovember 9, 2012Go check out "We're All in This Room Together." I have never laughed so hard!
