The Second City Works Profile Photo

At the Second City, we have been at the forefront of human performance for more than 60 years. From launching generation-defining performers like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Keegan Michael Key, Eugene Levy, and many, many more, to partnering with leading academic institutions, Second City’s impact is unmatched.

About 35 years ago, we noticed that students were flocking to our Training Centers in Chicago and Toronto (and now Brooklyn NY) not only to become the comedy stars of tomorrow, but many were there seeking to improve their communication and teamwork skills at home and at work. To tailor solutions specifically to these audiences, Second City Works was born.

At Second City Works, our programming uses fun, interactive content, and exercises to create meaningful change. For people. For teams. For organizations. Whether you are looking to improve communication, foster collaboration, or promote well-being, we are rooted in improv, based in research, and proven to work.
