The Devil is in the Detours – The Second City Mainstage

But here, the show is so hot and hilarious, it’ll melt away your troubles. This interactive world of illusion, decadence, and the illusion of decadence invites you to join in on a heist of hijinx sparkling with sketch, song, and improv spontaneity. The best kept secret? You are the most important part of the show. Join us and find delight. Right this way, your table’s waiting.</p>


Best Kept Secret: Tell Everyone

<p><span style="color: #191919;">Are you tired of taking grandma to watch a bunch of nutcrackers dance in a kick-line every year? Well, you could stay home and watch the same old reruns of A Christmas Story, OR you could dash through the snow to The Second City’s Jack Frost Roasting on an Open Fire. Festive family gatherings, office parties, classic holiday movies, and Mariah Carey’s entire catalogue will all be severely lampooned in this fast-paced, interactive comedy revue stuffed with seasonal songs, sketches, and, of course, a generous helping of our world-famous improv comedy. It’s the most “wonderful” time of the year.</span></p>
