The Second City: Laughing Matters
The list of alumni from The Second City, the sketch comedy/improv troupe based in Chicago, is rather epic: Joan Rivers, Fred Willard, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk, Steve Carrel, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, okokwe’llstop. The self-described “most influential and prolific comedy theatre in the world” has become rather accomplished at making things up as they go along: every year, more than a million folks get their guffaws at Second City outposts in Chicago and Toronto, and with full-time touring ensembles. One of the latter will be presenting Laughing Matters, with sketches, songs, and improv from TSC’s 52-year run, at Trinity Rep, 201 Washington St, Providence, through the 23rd at 7:30 pm | $35 | 401.351.4242 | trinityrep.com | secondcity.com
