Review: REALITY DETOX: THE IMPROV EXPERIENCE at The Second City e.t.c.
by Rachel Weinberg - Jul 5, 2026
The Second City e.t.c.’s 50th revue Reality Detox promises more improv than ever before. While originally billed as an all-improv piece, ensemble members Kennedy Baldwin, Anna Portnick, Chas Lilly, Max Thomas (appearing in his second e.t.c revue), Annie Sullivan, and Riley Woolen haven’t quite made it there. But Reality Detox features substantially more improv than some past revues. The ensemble uses a chalkboard to indicate the line-up of sketches and improv moments of the evening. It appears that the improv slots rotate so audiences also see different sketches each night, making each performance a little different.
