The Second City: Behind the Laughter

One of the happiest years of my life was the year I spent at The Second City in Chicago. I was in their Comedy Writing program and ended up being on a writing team that put together a sketch revue that ran for four weeks in Donny's Skybox. The writers even got to be on stage for the grand finale.
Some of the most iconic comedians came from the Second City including Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Belushi, and the list goes on and on.
Not many iconic comedians are coming from anywhere these days because mainstream comedy is so woke, and the only thin funnier than woke comedy is EVERYTHING!
