Second City - Interactive Comedy Show

The Chicago Section IFT has been celebrating the local food industry and supporting Chicagoland food scientists for 75 years. This October, as part of our Celebrate Chicago! Program Theme, the Chicago Section IFT is hosting a dynamic, interactive and hilarious meeting with another cornerstone of Chicago culture: The Second City. The world renowned “Harvard of Comedy” Troupe, through Second City Works, will perform a wildly entertaining Improv Night at Maggiano’s in Skokie.

Second City - Interactive Comedy Show

Second City Works is the B2B side of The Second City, the world’s leading comedy theatre and school of improvisation. Second City Works collaborates with clients to create improv-based learning, digital content, and entertainment.

By elevating messages so people want to listen, they help companies engage their workforce and win over customers. In short, they make work better. The businesses that thrive in the chaos of ever-present change are the ones with a new toolkit. It’s a toolkit that values speed, agility, collaboration, comfort with change, willingness to fail, and the creativity to solve old problems in new ways. Ultimately, they have the toolkit of an improviser.

Past collaborating companies include: Vixen Vodka, MOM Brands, Seattle’s Best Coffee, The Ryder Cup, Clorox, Farmers Insurance, Schick, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Otsuka, Cisco, Google, and Facebook.
