THE SECOND CITY HOLLYWOOD Because life doesn’t come with a script!
Los Angeles is the world capital of the Entertainment Industry and The Second City is in the heart of it on Hollywood Boulevard. For 57 years The Second City has created a wealth of comedic material from a legendary group of performers such as Tina Fey, Joh Belushi, Rachel Dratch, Chris Farley, Jim Belushi, Steve Carell, Keegan-Michael Key and Stephen Colbert. The Training Center follows the traditions developed by these groundbreaking and innovative men and women while encouraging the continued growth and development of the art forms of comedy and improvisation. Today, The Second City Training Center is the largest school of improvisation and sketch comedy in the world.
