Back by popular demand (because they always sell out!), Chicago’s legendary comedy theatre company The Second City returns to the Liberty Theatre in Hailey on Thursday, January 9th and Friday, January 10th at 7pm. Drawing on classic material from The Second City archives as well as scenes ripped from the morning headlines, The Second City’s Happily Ever Laughter is your chance to see comedy stars in the making in an evening of smart, cutting edge comedy.

As always, The Second City on Tour features the next generation of comic greats performing a diverse array of sketches and songs, as well as off-the-cuff improvisation that can provide completely unexpected comic brilliance. From the battle of the sexes to the battles at the voting booth, The Second City provides a hilarious and insightful look into contemporary American culture.

It all started in a converted Chinese laundry on Chicago’s north side in 1959. No one could have known that by the next century, The Second City would have established itself as the premier comedy institution in the world. With theatres in Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, and Las Vegas; training centers in each of those cities as well as Los Angeles; a corporate division that offers creative services to the business world; a TV and film division; and touring troupes that bring its unique brand of improv-based sketch comedy all over the world, The Second City has become, in the words of The New York Times, “A Comedy Empire.”

The touring troupes at The Second City have been the springboard for generations of the comedy world’s best and brightest. Its alumni list includes: Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Peter Boyle, Harold Ramis, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Martin Short, George Wendt, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Chris Farley, Ryan Stiles, Mike Myers, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, and more.

No topic or subject matter is off-limits for The Second City. If your parents asked you not to speak about it at the dinner table, chances are, it will be made fun of in an evening with The Second City.

Ages: Adult situations and Language.
