When a sketch group has previously featured the likes of John Belushi, Tina Fey, and Jason Sudekis — you can trust that they know how to make people laugh.
This is The Second City, a Chicago-born sketch and improv group. And, they will take over the Davidson Theatre — located at 77 S. High St. — on Friday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now.
The group has been performing for 60+ years now and has had many skits recreated on Saturday Night Live. We love a YouTube rabbit hole, so let’s take a look at some of their most recognizable hits:
- Matt Foley — Before Chris Farley made the entire country laugh with this outlandish skit, he was performing this character with The Second City.
- Wayne Campbell — Mike Myers perfected this character with this group before a movie (and a sequel) was ever a thought. Excellent.
