  • My goal with this documentary is to share the magic of The Second City and the art of improvisation with actor and writer Bob Odenkirk and Second City Vice President Kelly Leonard. We discuss their Second City experiences, the stars they have worked with, how improv shaped their careers, and advice for the younger generation. I hope you enjoy it!

    Tastefully done, short, sweet, insightful and impressively trim; I don’t think there was a single bit of fat, and with a casual flow which nearly made me miss the efficiency, which is something I rarely see, and appreciate more than you could know.

    I tried to do improv and really thought by watching SNL and other sketch comedy shows that it would be easy. I didn't go to Second City, but the other well known improv theater in LA, which I won't name out of respect for this video. Let me just state that once you are there, you quickly realize who is naturally talented and who is just faking it. I was in the latter category unfortunately. To watch these artists up close perform and create so effortlessly was difficult, because it made me quickly realize that I should not have been any where near that place. But it was also an honor just to be able to see the process that a real one goes through to do a performance. By "real ones", I mean the truly talented performers. The real ones are absolutely bold, fearless, and creative. I am in awe of anyone who can do this type of performance.

    Awesome video. It's amazing to see real interviews, not just videos regurgitating wikipedia articles. Very well done!

    Improv became my life in 1986. I do it professionally now and make a great living. Studied at 2nd city Toronto and Vancouver TheaterSports. It's been a huge part of my life and I still love it.

    Twinned with Birmingham 2nd City of UK! My home City, which is why I have a soft spot for Chicago! Some people think Manchester is 2nd City in UK, but IT'S NOT!!!🤨🙏

    I loved the old Chicago. Not surprised so much talent went through there. It's horrific how horrible the city has become because of poor leadership.

    Love Chicago, so much history; and this music is tasty. Oh, and there’s nothing wrong with deep-dish pizza aside from the fact that it isn’t pizza. It’s delish, it’s just not fucking pizza. NEXT
