Live at the Second City: Spotlight at The Second City

Spotlight at the Second City is a new series from Taylor Hreljac & Gabe Meacher that celebrates sketch comedy’s best troupes. Each month, The Second City will open its doors to the next generation of sketch by putting the spotlight on two of our favourite sketch troupes. Audiences will get to enjoy a double-header sketch show: two acts, one amazing night of fresh comedy.

April’s show features SPENCER GLASSMAN and BEST BY FAR!

About the Acts

SPENCER GLASSMAN is a bonafide theatre girl showing no signs of slowing. A writer and performer from Toronto she has dazzled audiences across North America, with credits including JFL, Toronto and Montreal Sketch Festivals, Yuk Yuks and the Fun and Dumb Improv Festival at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Her one-woman musical sketch show, Child Star, was featured in Brooklyn Magazine and performed in both Canada and New York City. She’s so excited to bring Amish Famous, directed by Zoe Marin, to Second City.

Hot! Fast! Hilarious! BEST BY FAR is ready for their SPOTLIGHT!! When Austin, Brody, and Rachel were asked to perform at the illustrious Second City Toronto, they shit themselves. This is huge. MASSIVE. AND THEY’RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS! ALL THE STOPS!! SO BUCKLE UP BADDIES, because yes it’s just a name BUT we believe. WE ARE BEST BY FAR!!

Guest Performance,
These non-Second City productions are original works created and produced by guest performers and ensembles. With limited runs, these performances allow for complete creative freedom and may feature artists of any experience level.
Sketch Comedy
A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.
