The Second City has been performing sketch comedy in front of audiences for nearly 50 years, making it the standard by which comedy and improv in America is judged. So much talent has come from the ranks of the company's many theaters over the years, it reads like a who's who of contemporary American comedy. Some of their most well-known alumni are John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert to name a few.

Second City Communications works with corporate groups to create a fun, interactive and unconventional approach to training and entertainment. Working with groups as small as 4 and as large as 18,000, they have worked with the employees of over 400 Fortune 1000 companies.

The Second City style is one of elegant simplicity-six actors, a few chairs, and some of the most inventive comedy in the nation. The ensemble creates a slice-of-life environment, lampooning aspects of our modern lives-political, social, and cultural. It compares to Saturday Night Live-only better.

Corporate entertainment options often cluster at two extremes. You can hire a top-name celebrity for marquee value and risk getting a pre-packaged act. Or you can go with a cheaper, no-name group and - well - you get what you get.

Second City Communications offers a better option. With us, your company gets big name entertainment at a rate that usually surprises people. Heck, you'll even be able to feed your guests.

Thousands of corporations and organizations have hired second city communications to bring fun and energy into their gatherings.

In fact, more than 400 corporate clients a year hire us because they know we deliver:
  • Really great shows that leave people rolling in the aisles and buzzing for weeks
  • The same award-winning performers who have graced our stages
  • Truly customized content. We don't just "work your name" into canned bits
  • Material that is clean and appropriate for all audiences
  • Experienced casts and crews who make your job easy

  • Funny Business: The Live Customized Comedy show - Our most popular offerings, custom shows are clean, one-act revues (approx. 50-60 minutes) prepared and customized specifically for your company. A third of the show is made up of original scenes crafted by our writers and based on the day-to-day life of your company and business. Additionally, the revue includes equal parts "best of" Second City sketches and improvisation - all carefully chosen to fit your audience. You approve all content and we work hard to make it suitable to your organization.

  • Second City's Barack Stars - The Second City takes a bite out of the beltway in Second City's Barack Stars, an evening of political comedy straight from the land of Lincoln, Obama and Blagojevich - well, two out of three isn't bad. Featuring sketches and songs, Second City's Barack Stars provides bi-partisan hilarity ripped from the day's headlines. From the endlessly enigmatic commander in chief to his terrifyingly tiny chief of staff- political gaffes, power plays and an insatiable media all make for the targets in corporate friendly revue.

  • Monsters of Motivation - In a hilarious satirical answer to the world of motivational speakers, Second City brings you Rock Coleman, the self-proclaimed "world's most popular motivational guru." Rock has developed a new seminar that will take your company to the next level of excellence and has found a way to bring together four of the world's most renowned self-help experts to cover every business base and to turn any company into a positive, well-oiled money-making machine. This 45-minute show is the ultimate satire of the business keynote speaker world.

  • Best of The Second City Show - This 50-minute revue is similar to the custom show, but only incorporates the best material from our nearly 50 years of theatrical history. The revue includes hilarious sketches and improvisation based off of your audience's suggestions.

  • Improv Show - Some of our best actors come together for the 30-minute improvisation show, where they take suggestions from your audience to create an original set that is entirely unique and new. Because suggestions come from the audience, this show tends to form around concepts relevant to your business.
