<p>Sero-Tone It Down: a 50 minute sketch revue with the goal of shedding light in some of the darkest areas of the human condition. We aim to highlight Mental Health Awareness month with a show run in May 2025 that explores the stigmas, day to day lives, struggles, and topics in general surrounding mental illness. With each performer looking to bring their unique voice to the stage and highlight Mental Health, Mental Illness&#8217; they may encounter/deal with on a daily basis, we hope to create comedic conversation on topics otherwise ignored or altogether avoided. Additionally, we aim to outline and donate the ticket proceeds to Brave Space Alliance to give back where it matters the most. Come for the serotonin, stay for the conversation with Sero-Tone It Down!</p>

Guest Performance

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.

<p>After getting a single suggestion, the cast of six professional comedians asks the audience to choose a detective. Enjoy as they invent a tale of crime, secrets, and scandals right before your eyes. The performers will keep track of facts, follow leads, and conclude who is the murderer, all while you take in a comedy experience unlike any you’ve seen before. During the show, they’ll employ the tropes, character archetypes, and influences of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, Nick and Nora Charles, Encyclopedia Brown, and just a dash of Scooby-Doo.</p>
