The Second City, the iconic improv and sketch comedy club, has a new home in Toronto. Take a peek inside
The Second City, Toronto’s iconic improv and sketch comedy club, has a new trendy location at One York Street. Founded in Chicago in 1959, The Second City borrowed its name from a snarky reference to Chicago as second to New York. Since opening its Toronto location almost 50 years ago, it’s been a launch pad for some of Canada’s biggest names—including Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy and Colin Mochrie.
Among the modern touches are subtle nods to The Second City’s legacy in Toronto. The sign above the booths in the restaurant and bar area originally hung at the old Mercer Street location. And the Student Bar, outside the theatre where students perform, prominently features improv’s most emblematic catchphrase: “Yes, and…”
Theatre 73, the smaller of The Second City’s two new professional stages, seats 170 people. This makes it a bit more intimate than the larger Main Stage theatre, but both feature cabaret-style seating. The faux-brick backdrop and red doors are designed to evoke the exterior walls of the Old Fire Hall theatre. Over the holidays, Theatre 73 will be home to “Jingle Bell Ruckus”, a two-hour satirical improv show.
