Second City began training and entertaining back in 1959 and has not stopped since. Producing talents including Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Dan Aykroyd, Tiny Fey, Amy Poehler, Bill Murray, Jane Lynch….the list is endless.

Each year new students get trained to enter the field of comedic improv, or to just enhance their lives by confronting the anxiety of presenting, living with Autism or Parkinson’s. So much you may not know about Second City beyond the incredible comedy shows they present all year round.

Joining the conversation are Program Alum and Faculty member Anthony Leblanc, Vice President of Training Centers Julie Dumais Osborne, and one of the ensembles funniest and most engaging talents: Tim Metzler.

Check out the lively conversation about the history, programs and shows offered by this gem of Chicago’s comedy scene. For more information, visit: www.SecondCity.com
