You've done the double-decker bus tour, you've done the architectural boat tour, you've stood on the clear platform at the top of Willis Tower. Now get to really know the city with What the Tour Guide Didn't Tell You: A Chicago Revue. The Second City takes on the Second City in this hilarious hometown revue that pulls from 52 years of classic scenes and songs that lovingly make fun of the wonderful city of Chicago. Whether pointing out the wholesale political corruption or ribbing the hapless ball club on the north side of town, this hilarious show is a great way to get a lovingly laugh-filled look at the real Windy City.

Featured review from Anna
view more less of this reviewCould have done with a little less of the audience participation/ improv. Improv just always seems to make the audience unconcomforable and it's not why I come to Seconed City. You guys are funnier than the audience! :)
star this review starred report as inappropriateGreat show for anyone who loves Chicago! Bring your friends or out of town guests. The new venue (UP Comedy Club) has drinks and food available. Good times!
star this review starred report as inappropriateI was a little nervous to whether my tickets would be at will call because I ordered them at 1pm the same day of the show, but they were there. This event was great! To be fair it was my first time at a show like this so I have nothing to compare it to, but I really enjoyed it! The parking on the street was impossible, but there was a garage right next door so we used that. The venue was very nice! They really did try to squeeze EVERY possible chair they could in there which kind of sucked in a way. There was no bad seat really, because it was fairly small and intimate space than what you might expect. No matter if you're sitting in the middle or on the sides it was a good view of the stage. HOWEVER, at some seats if people sat in front of you and you're more towards the side then it was difficult to see the stage. Also, we had a party of four and not everyone had a comfortable access to the table because it was small and we're all sitting next to eachother. Besides that the waitstaff and hosts were nice and polite. I tend to hate the dinner and show type thing because the servers interrupt the show, but the server did a good job of being there just a enough that we got what we needed and not enough to distract or interrupt the show. Prices were okay for food and drink not tooooo expensive, but the food wasn't bad, but wasn't really good either. The SHOW was funny. There was a lot of jokes about politics which my sister and friend didn't really get, but the way the actors presented it still allowed for some comedy so it was okay. The show was funny, the actors were great and likeable, and my favorite part was the couple skits that were audience participation. OVERALL I say definitely worth the 16$ ticket and 25$ of food and drink I got.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThe show was wonderful. Fast-paced, relevant, and just fun. The venue is also nice. Parking was easy in the attached garage and if you park on the 3rd floor you don't even have to go outside to enter the lobby the place only seats about 300 so there's no such thing as a bad seat. Drinks and food can be purchased right from your seat which is convenient, but they are a bit pricey. Table space is very limited too, so don't plan on eating a meal. The nearest table to us was also to be shared with 7 of our nearest seat-mates. Overall great experience though. I would totally go again!!!
