The Clark Center for the Performing Arts will close its sixth season with Chicago’s legendary comedy improv group The Second City, beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 17. The performance will feature some of the best sketches, songs and improvisations from the group’s 45-plus year history.
Founded in Chicago in 1959, The Second City’s alumni list reads like a who’s who of American comedy, including John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, George Wendt, Martin Short, John Candy, Bonnie Hunt, Tim Meadows, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Horatio Sanz, Ryan Stiles, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Peter Boyle and Harold Ramis.
No topic or subject matter is off limits for The Second City, so be prepared for some adult humor.
