Biography
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 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 18000, they have worked with the employees of over 400 Fortune 1000 companies.
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.

Featured Keynote Programs
Funny Business
the Live Customized Comedy show
Our most popular offering, 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.
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 this corporate-friendly revue.
Monsters of Motivation
In a hilarious satirical answer to the world of motivational speakers, Second City bring 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.
