The advertised mix puts older material in conversation with newer comedy: sketches and songs from The Second City’s archives are updated for contemporary audiences, alongside recent pieces and improvisation. Best of The Second City is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, at the company’s Old Town theater.
A repertory mix, without a promised set list
The format brings together three kinds of material: sketches and songs drawn from the company’s archives and refreshed for today, newer pieces, and improvisation performed by The Second City Touring Company. That combination offers a way to encounter different parts of the company’s comedy in one show, rather than a program built around a single announced work.
The event listing does not name individual sketches, songs or performers for this date. Treat the descriptions as broad categories, not confirmation that a particular familiar piece—or any specific cast member—will appear.

What the listing does—and does not—promise
The Second City Touring Company is named, but no performers or individual pieces are announced for this performance. The company credit identifies the group, not a confirmed cast list.
