<h2>The Second City, the World’s Premier Comedy Club, and Audio Platform Vennly Inc. Announce Exclusive Content Partnership </h2>
<p>_____________________________</p>
<p>NEW YORK, NY AND CHICAGO, IL. – April 20, 2022 – The Second City, the world’s premier comedy club, comedy theater, and school of improvisation announced an exclusive partnership today with Vennly, Inc., an audio platform that enables businesses to seamlessly and securely share audio content to their preferred communication channels.</p>
<p>Through this partnership, The Second City’s audio series, “First Takes,” lives exclusively on Vennly’s platform. “First Takes” is hosted by Kelly Leonard, Executive Director of Learning and Applied Improvisation at Second City Works, and explores the critical skills needed to improve corporate communication. The series touches on topics ranging from creativity and innovation to agility and resilience, all while anchoring on the unique skills that improvisation brings to the business world, such as risk-taking, teamwork, and learning from failure.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to partner with Vennly through their unique platform which speaks to something The Second City teaches its clients in the corporate communication space: the need to meet your audience where they are as opposed to where you want them to be. In improvisation, we say that you need to &#8216;play the scene you&#8217;re in, not the scene you want to be in.&#8217; Vennly recognizes that the workforce of today consumes audio on a daily basis, and we are looking forward to expanding the reach of our audio content,” said Leonard. </p>
<p>As companies increasingly turn to audio for their internal and external communications, Vennly’s platform enables businesses to seamlessly and securely share audio content to their existing channels of communication such as Slack, Sharepoint, Notion, Asana, FirstUp, and other learning management systems. Vennly provides detailed listener insights across all channels, allowing companies to get real-time analytics on their employees’ engagement with audio content. The “First Takes” audio series is available on Vennly’s dashboard and can be shared by Vennly’s clients to their own internal audiences. </p>
<p>“Vennly is excited to bring Second City’s one-of-a-kind content to our platform, which will provide an enhanced experience to Vennly’s customers,” said Vennly Cofounder and CEO Brian Landau. “As more and more businesses use audio as a format for employee engagement and learning and development, we couldn’t be more excited to partner with the iconic Second City as we continue to populate our dashboard with compelling, instructional content for our clients.” </p>

Ethisphere Aligns with Second City Works to Offer Real Biz Shorts Ethics and Compliance Communication Videos

<p>(CHICAGO, IL &#8211; April 6, 2020) For over 60 years, <a href="http://secondcity.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second City</a> has been renowned for entertaining and educating millions in its theaters and classrooms. Now, the famed comedy institution has adapted its improvisation-based shows, classes and corporate services to create free, real-time, interactive and socially “together” virtual experiences available to audiences worldwide. “</p>
<p>It’s incredible to see how well our work translates to this platform. There are so many people who have yet to experience The Second City, and it’s so rewarding to our talent and staff to get back to work online and give the world a taste of what we do,” says Andrew Alexander, CEO and executive producer of The Second City.</p>
<p>The Second City started live-streaming comedy performances via Zoom on April 2, 2020. “We don’t know when we’ll be able to welcome an audience back into our theaters, so we’ve had to improvise on a whole new scale. We can actually offer audiences at home live, interactive performances featuring the world’s best improvisers,” says vice president of production Jen Hoyt. </p>
<p>The new live shows featuring Second City talent and alumni allow the audience at home to participate and give suggestions to the performers. The events are streamed for free, but donations are accepted to <a href="http://secondcity.com/alumni-fund" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second City Alumni Fund</a>, a resource for performers and other members of The Second City community experiencing critical health and financial challenges. The first two performances of <em>Improv House Party</em>, a show in which quarantined comedians convene digitally to improvise their hearts out in this wild west of comedy, brought in over 3800 viewers from around the world..</p>

<h3>The Second City Training Center</h3>
<p>Although <a href="http://secondcity.com/tc">The Second City Training Center</a> has offered a selection of classes online for nearly a decade, the world’s largest school of improvisation has moved the majority of its programming to the web, where students have the opportunity to learn and connect with classmates and teachers in a virtual classroom. “Improv has always been considered a hands-on, human-to-human art form. What we’ve learned over the last two weeks is that the same magic that connects us in a classroom or on a stage transfers via the web. Our students are all at home practicing social distancing, but that doesn’t have to mean social isolation. These classes have been a lifeline for adults, children, and teens,” says Abby Wagner, VP of The Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto, and Hollywood, as well as <a href="http://ramisfilmschool.com/">Harold Ramis Film School</a>.</p>

The Second City Does Improv of its Own, Bringing Comedy to Your Couch

<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/08/playing-against-type-chicago-mayor-deploys-humor-coronavirus-fight/#comments-wrapper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a> noticed that Chicago&#8217;s typically very serious mayor Lori Lightfoot has turned to humor (and some famous Second City alumi) to spread the word about, and get people to pay attention to, her stay-at-home orders. </p>
<p>Kelly Leonard, a longtime creative executive at the Second City, the legendary improvisational theater that has launched the careers of many of Chicago’s most famous comic actors, characterized Lightfoot’s use of comedy as “brilliant” for how it engages people.</p>
<p>“She’s fighting a virus with a virus because comedy is also viral and humor is contagious,” he said Monday. “The idea that she would pick a medium by which she could use the biggest megaphone was smart.”</p>
<p>Leonard says the sharp divergence from Lightfoot’s public image is what makes this approach so effective.</p>
<p>“This is not someone who presents themselves as a funny character. … She really is surprising people, which is why everyone is delighting in it. It came out of nowhere, and the best comedy is the comedy of surprise,” he said.</p>
