The Second City always impresses and entertains with hilarious improv. It is known for the place where the famous actors Mike Myers, John Candy, and Eugene Levy, to name a few, started their careers. This year The Second City will give you an evening full of hilarious sketches and songs about the people that make up our families, our neighbourhoods and our world. Something Wicked Awesome This Way Comes starts from the premise that everybody - you, me, your neighbour, everybody - is awesome. If you have never seen a Second City show, you are missing out!

All these shows look great. I'm sure they will be sold out soon. All the commideans are super funny and always have great jokes and stroies in there acts. I love watching all of them on youtube all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think your blog is great! I love how you are keeping people posted with great event ideas for the Toronto area. Everything is in great detail. It tells us the viewers where, the place, the time, when, and who. I feel as if I dont even have to vist the website, well of course to purchase the tickets.
Keep up the great work. I know I will be looking into more than one of these events. Very creative and unique.
All these comedians are pretty hilarious, except Margaret Cho she has a kind of weird sense of humor that i don't really find funny. Bob Saget is another story, he has a really dirty sense of humor that is awesome. Considering his role back in the day on Full House i would never expect the kind of stand up routine from him.
