We never miss a chance to see Second City and are so glad we didn't miss this show. This was one of the best touring companies that we have seen.
This was one of four touring companies for Second City. We have seen SC twice in Toronto and this company was every bit as funny. One criticism - the drinks were overpriced and horrible - tasted pre-made, overly sweet and undrinkable. If you go to the Wilbur Theater in Boston, save your money and go to a nearby pub afterwards..
This is how comedy stays fresh and entertaining. It is great to see true comedians working to perfect their art, on stage not for their celebrity status or shock value, but for their gift for irony and creativity. A barrel of laughs, to be sure.
This is not a "stand-up" act....these are incredibly talented improv actors/comedians. It was amazing how they could instantly take a "theme" thrown at them from an audience member and turn it into an hysterically funny skit -- I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt! That's what makes each show unique too, is their interaction with the audience. I'd go again but they were only here one night. Can't wait for next year!
Good for a night of laughter, most of the time. At times, could not hear the dialogue from poorly placed mikes or actors not under mikes?? Poorly regulated room temperature made theatre feel like a sauna at times. Skits were fast moving. Actors quick witted.
Absolutely phenomenal. Non-stop laughing. These guys were terrific!
I wasn't sure what to expect from The Second City group but it was the best comedy show I've been to. The improv and acts had me laughing so hard I cried. The Wilbur Theater was the perfect venue. Don't miss out - go see these people!
