The Second City's Dysfunctional Holiday Revue at Pheasant Run 12/10-31

If annoying holiday films, dreaded family gatherings and over-played Christmas songs don't get you in the holiday spirit, The Second City certainly will when they bring their Dysfunctional Holiday Revue performance and additional New Year's Eve show to Pheasant Run Resort, presented by Noble Fool Theatricals (soon to be Fox Valley Repertory in 2011).

Founded in Chicago in 1959, The Second City has become the premier training ground for the comedy world's best and brightest. Their alumni list reads like a who's who of American comedy, as it includes: Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, George Wendt, Martin Short, John Candy, Bonnie Hunt, Tim Meadows, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Horatio Sanz, Ryan Stiles and countless others.

Not only will an evening with The Second City provide audiences with the chance to see comedy stars in the making, but they will also have the opportunity to see hilarious satire and cutting-edge improvisation - all with a special holiday slant. It's a fast-paced, interactive comedy revue filled with style and wit - where even Rudolph is fair game. Strong adult language and themes. Not recommended for children or young teens.

Dysfunctional Holiday Revue performances are Friday, December 10 & 17; and Tuesday, December 21; at 8pm. Tickets are priced at $39. Dinner and overnight packages are available.

Celebrate New Year's Eve with Dysfunctional Holiday Revue on Friday, December 31 at 9pm. Tickets are priced at $50 and include show tickets, party favors and champagne. Overnight party packages are also available.
