My husband and I were flying out of Toronto Ontario, Canada on an early Sunday AM flight, we drove up the night before and got tickets for dinner and a comedy show at Second City. The dinner at Wayne Gretzsky's restaurant was excellent (you get a limited menu as part of the package but the choices were great, and the... More

We were staying close by so we decided it would be a fun night. Attended the 10:30pm Friday night show. It was definately an adult themed show. We had a two for one coupon which made the show an even better deal! Would go again....the improv was great after the show! More

I would only complain about being so tightly packed in and consequently the very, very slow drink service. Most importantly though, the comedy was outstanding, the performers were fun to watch and I never wanted it to be over! I loved the topics they chose to speak about and the twists they threw in. Dreams really do come true and... More

This was my first time at Second City and it was really different from what I expected. I was impressed by the show but I would have liked to know exactly how much was improv and how much was scripted. Also, the venue needs to be re-modeled, they try to squeeze 5 people into a small table for 2, and... More

My girlfriend and I went on a Friday for a date night. We sat near the front in an aisle table. This resulted in me being pulled on stage and taking part in a skit, I have never been a particularly outgoing person but i had so much fun up there. The show was hilarious the cast even did some...

This was our second time at Second City and it was just as funny this time around. It can get busy so book in advance if you can and arrive early too. As far as improv goes it's a bit steep on the price compared to some of the place I've been to in New York, but in the end... More

Second City was one of my favorite nights in Toronto (The Leafs beating the Capitals 7-1 was also a highlight!). We arrived a little early so we had a drink at the bar inside the doors. We were allowed to take our beer with us once we entered into the seating area. Originally we were seated close to the stage... More

I attended the Dreams Really Do Come True show sometime towards the end of October. I was not really sure what to expect, since I've never been to a show like that, but I had received free tickets so was willing to try it out. I laughed the entire time. There was also table service for drinks and possibly for... More

So excited to share that a recent outing to a Second City performance called "Dreams Really Do Come True (and Other Lies) was simply wonderful. The last experience I'd had was disappointing & I hadn't been looking forward to this visit, but it was excellent! Non-stop laughs! Our group enjoyed it so much we went back for the free post-midnight... More
