Spotlight at The Second City at The Second City

the new monthly series Spotlight at The Second City is happy to announce $20 Sandwich and Sarah Bennett as the featured troupes on October 14-15, 2025 at The Second City’s Theatre ‘73.

Each month Spotlight at The Second City will feature two celebrated troupes performing polished 30 minute shows for a two night run. Hosted and produced by Taylor Hreljac and Gabe Meacher, this series presents sketch comedy’s best troupes in their best light.

$20 Sandwich, featuring Brennan Ashbridge, Tony Hall, Shaun Hunter and Chase Jeffels, is a sketch troupe known for their viral reels that have amassed 10s of millions of views across TikTok and Instagram. Their show $20 Sandwich IRL (In Reel Life) is a collection of all new sketches that are too crazy/convoluted/long-winded/hilarious for the internet. Between the four of them they have podcasted, written for and been on TV, studied clown in France, performed comedy intercontinentally, won awards and/or competitions, AND were almost on Chopped Canada Junior.

Sarah Bennett brings a half hour of solo sketch comedy that is NOT cringe. Audiences can expect absurd, smart characters from her twisted Joker-like mind. Joker-Harlequin like mind. She tackles topics like credit card point systems, slime, and what it means to be a boy in grade 8. Sarah Bennett is a “tritruple” threat in stand-up, improv, sketch comedy, and being a strange and endearing girl with credits including JFL42, Toronto Sketch Festival, The Next Act Festival, Toronto Fringe, Sketch to the Death, and Amazon Prime’s Overcompensating. She produces and performs all over the city and has been described as “having energy to lift a building”.
