The Second City knows a few things about love – they’ve been looking at and laughing about relationships for over 55 years. Hooking Up With The Second City makes mirth out of missed connections, girls’ night out adventures and all the crazy things we do for love. This gaspingly funny revue is a modern mix of romance, rancor and everything in between.
From the company that launched the careers of Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Gilda Radner,
Bill Murray and more, comes the next generation of the comedy world’s best and brightest in an evening of hilarious sketch comedy and Second City’s trademark improvisation.
The Second City celebrates over 55 years of cutting edge satiric revues and continues to deliver the leading voices in comedy while touring the globe. With scripted and improvisational elements, audiences always enjoy being part of the show and playing along with the next generation of comic legends.
Whether it’s ripped from the morning headlines or a classic gem from their over 55 year archives, The Second
City is always a laugh out loud hit. Included with this great evening of comedy is the opportunity to visit the museum for free. The Dennos Museum Center’s galleries are open one hour before the concert for ticket holders and for a reception with the performers following the concert.
This production and the concert season is made possible at the Dennos Museum Center with support from the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Trust, and the Osterlin Performance Endowment and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts with media support from WNMC 90.7 and TV 29&8.
