The Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue This Too Shall Slap is a wild sketch comedy show that spins the familiar into the absurd&#8230; and makes the absurd feel oddly familiar. Performed by a hilarious six-person ensemble who specialize in chaos, charm, and comedic whiplash, this show will keep you laughing, guessing, and possibly questioning your entire reality. Join us for a night where nothing is what it seems. Except the laughter. That’s real.  
Group of 16 or more? We’ll make it easy: <a href="https://www.secondcity.com/group-events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contact Us for Group Events</a>

This Too Shall Slap

After getting a single suggestion, the cast of six professional comedians asks the audience to choose a detective. Enjoy as they invent a tale of crime, secrets, and scandals right before your eyes. The performers will keep track of facts, follow leads, and conclude who is the murderer, all while you take in a comedy experience unlike any you’ve seen before. During the show, they’ll employ the tropes, character archetypes, and influences of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, Nick and Nora Charles, Encyclopedia Brown, and just a dash of Scooby-Doo.

SPECIAL V-DAY BWC SHOWS Feb 14 &amp; 21 only! Regular BWC shows resume Feb 28!
World-famous Baby Wants Candy (“Don’t miss!” TimeOut Chicago ,“Truly amazing! Critics’ Pick”-New York Times,, ★★★★ “Brilliant” The Guardian) has created over 4000 musicals on the spot based on audience suggestions, including such insta-classics as Grandma Got Run Over by a Waymo, Fornite-mare on Elm Street and Mary Poppins Has Ebola.
This Valentine’s season we’re going full romance-mode—whether you’re in a couple, trying to get into one, or trying to get out of one.
Bring your date (or your situationship… or your best friend… or fully embrace your emotional support single era) and we&#8217;ll make up a musical about you.
You could walk in anonymous and leave as the star of an improvised love story. If you&#8217;re in a couple, share how you met, if you&#8217;re single, share what you&#8217;re lookin&#8217; for in love. No matter who you are- share your dating nightmares. We&#8217;ll create a full musical romance (or glorious disaster) on the spot, with live band and Broadway-level vocals.(Don’t worry—we only call on you if you volunteer. If you’d rather sit back and watch the musical mayhem, that’s perfect too)
Can’t make Feb 14 or Feb 21? Unacceptable. Jkjkjk. Baby Wants Candy runs every Saturday at Second City—always brand new, so we’ve got your date nights planned all year.
Baby Wants Candy is a completely improvised, full band musical! Having performed over 4,000 improvised musicals to thousands of fans from Chicago to New York to Singapore to Scotland, this group not only performs in Chicago, New York, and LA but also tours internationally, including multiple sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
