Wouldn't have thought of doing this until I saw as favorite attraction here on Trip Advisor. So glad we went ... it was uber-funny!! We actually got 1/2-priced tickets in Yonge-Dundas Square T.O. Tix booth but it's worth seeing at any price! We had been in Toronto a few days, so understood most of the Canada-oriented humor. This was the... more

The Second City comedy club was a great entertainment for us! Our teen girls loved it too!...tix were $23 adult/$15 teens. Seating is first come, first serve, and doors open 1/2 hour before the show. There is a convenient parking lot right across the street. Waitress service available before and during the show for drinks and food. The show was... more

Told by concierge that the Monday night show at 2nd City, "Panic! Everybody's doing it" was great, and Monday nights are half price. Great show full of laughs, some scripted, some improv with audience participation, with a great ensemble. Sat next to a European visitor, english not first language, he laughed longer and harder than I. Good balance of physical... more

Great comedy show! I was a little worried when they sat us in the front row, but it didn't matter. The show was hilarious! I think you can get discount tickets at the half price booth at Yonge-Dundas Square more

We went to see "0% down, 100% screwed", on a Tuesday night. Very funny. Also offer a free improv session after the show (10pm), which had some unfinished sketches - some were very funny. more

We went to this show based on reviews and were impressed beyond that which we read. The show which is live combination of both scripted and improv comedy was hilarious. The troup were all excellent actors and intelligent comedians and the staff were excellent at providing good service and not blocking the views of those watching. Humour is edgy, has... more

Barack to the Future was funny and topical, and definitely worth seeing. I have enjoyed SC-Chicago and ImprovOlympic back home in Chicago, and this is my favorite show so far. The building was also interesting because of it's history and the people who have come up thru the Second City system. The only downside was the two jerks behind me... more
