“Chicago's temple of improvisational comedy.” —New York Times
Since opening in 1959, The Second City has transformed the state of
comedy as we know it, creating a wickedly funny culture of
improvisation and training thousands of artists—who now dominate
popular entertainment—in the art of improv-based theater. This
newly revised and expanded edition of The Second City tells the
story of the legendary comedy institution and the Emmy-winning
sketch comedy classic SCTV, folding new material and commentary in
with tales of The Second City’s storied past. The giants who got
their start at The Second City in its earlier years—including
Alan Arkin, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Candy, Chris Farley,
Eugene Levy, Tim Meadows, Bill Murray, Mike Myers, Catherine
O’Hara, Gilda Radner, Joan Rivers, Martin Short, and Fred
Willard—are joined in these pages by more recent alumni like Aidy
Bryant, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Keegan-Michael
Key, Jack McBrayer, Bob Odenkirk, and Jason Sudeikis. The real
stories of The Second City and its performers will make you see the
comedy juggernaut in a whole new light. Did you know John Belushi
got his start lifting jokes from The Second City? Or that many cast
members—including Stephen Colbert and Nia Vardalos—sold tickets
or waited tables at the theater before they made it to the stage?
The Second City takes you behind the scenes of the world’s
leading improv theater. Now spanning six decades, the story of The
Second City is both funnier and more poignant than anyone could
have imagined.
