A collection of sketch comedy and improvisation from Second City and iO actors, “Santa’s Great American Depression Holiday Show! America.” is a hilarious hour where the holidays bring out the worst (and best) in a wide array of characters, where Batman comes to terms with economics, a bomb is loose in an American city, Santa gets no rest, and Thomas Jefferson rediscovers what it means to be an American.
