* Second City: Profile

The Second City's National Touring company has always been something of a comedic "boot camp" for Second City' resident stages in Chicago and Toronto. Performers such as Bill Murray, Betty Thomas, James Belushi, Chris Farley, Mike Myers and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have all, at one time or another, completed a "tour of duty" with the Second City's National Touring Company.

Providing a unique theatrical experience for audiences of all ages and backgrounds, The Second City's National Touring Company has also become a first-rate training ground for some of North America's best and brightest comedic performers.

Second City Communications strives to be a positive, disruptive force that changes how people communicate, collaborate and learn in the business world. In essence, core competencies of The Second City — creating customized content and engaging audiences — extend to Second City Communications. Our work is guided by a fundamental assumption: Business is an act of improvisation. Through comedy, we bring sorely needed humanity and authenticity to work environments by challenging unproductive conventions in marketing, learning, business development, and internal communications. We help people become more effective and engaged in their work, and help organizations connect better with the audiences they’re trying to reach.
