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, fully scripted comedy scene. Maybe you call it a “skit” (but we never do). Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and The Second City is at the center of it all.

About the Show
Epic comedy from across the genre-verse!
From some of the people who brought you the long-running, Off-Broadway wizard comedy Puffs, Or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic and the cult hit epic Kapow-i GoGo, comes an evening of comedy celebrating all genre-based entertainment: Giant Skybeam.
Each show explores a new dimension of fantastic voyages, ripping yarns, sci-fi, fantasy, romantasy, hard boiled noir, impossible missions, tales that are meant to astonish and tales originating in crypts alike! Some of the scenes will connect…some won’t. Don’t think about it too hard. You’re in for sweeping stories told in a very tiny room!
July’s show is all about espionage. Spies, chases, briefcases, British bureaucrats in big glasses in smokey conference rooms, moles, double-crosses, double-double crosses, strong cocktails, and, naturally, big brassy introductory songs. Grab a martini (or two) and join us!
