“They’re a bit goofy or weird and have a tendency to laugh at things we don’t always laugh at and they find humor in things that aren’t always funny.”
Second City – “Laughing for All the Wrong Reasons”
Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons is a hilarious celebration of comedy, drawing from The Second City’s legendary archive of iconic sketches and songs, alongside the razor-sharp improvisation that has defined the company for generations. This show dives headfirst into the material audiences love most: unforgettable characters, classic moments, and brilliantly irreverent comedy created on our stages by some of the most influential voices in entertainment, including Catherine O’Hara, Tina Fey, Keegan-Michael Key, Amber Ruffin, Stephen Colbert, Tim Meadows, Bill Murray, Tim Robinson, Eugene Levy, Adam McKay, and many more.
Brought to your stage by an exceptional cast, Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons hits on something rare: comedy that makes you laugh harder because it’s so painfully, beautifully true.
