OMG what a great time we had at Second City! The cast was so good at what they do; work with what the audience gives em! We were throwing some pretty fun and zany prompts out there, and they took everything and made it comedic gold. I haven't laughed that hard in a while!! I highly recommend Second City for date night-- good food and drinks to go with good laughs-- or a fun holiday gift. The show we went to was called "Rizz the Season". No show will be like the other, that's for sure, always something new to laugh at! read more

We bought tickets to see the dual citizenship show. Show was over two hours (not including intermission). Actors were incredibly talented, room itself made you close to the action. There is no minimum drink or food purchase but an available menu with just about anything you can imagine. Waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing. I would definitely return and see another show here. There were some great skits and improvisations throughout. If you want to laugh, buy a ticket. read more

Guys, you gotta love this comedy institution. I mean, Second City didn't originate in Toronto (Chicago holds that honour) but I feel like it should have...given the extraordinary, enduring legacy of SCTV. Most of the core cast members cut their teeth on Toronto's Second City main stage. And it's still jolly good fun, all these years later. The shows are performed as a revue, with musical accompaniment along with a mix of improv and pre-written skits. Only the top performers get cast in these shows, so you're bound to see a very skilled mix of comedic talent. Yup, always a fun night out at this historic venue! read more

I'm a bit biased because I don't think anything can beat the original but this is pretty dang close. Second City Toronto is a fun romp that takes after its older sibling in Chicago. Though we didn't stay for a nightcap I thought the outside bar was pretty slick and modern with beautiful lighting. The MainStage stage is cozier and more intimate than the Chicago one making for almost good seats anywhere. We opted for the middle tier tickets and were still only 4 rows back. We didn't order food or drinks but I could tell that the in show service was very attentive to our neighbors. Would absolutely come here again! Oh yeah the ensemble was great ! read more

We had a great time here! We saw "Make It Reindeer" on the theatre 73 stage. The venue was nice, modern, and clean with ample room for people. We had a group of 14 and we unfortunately showed a little late as our Limo Bus driver got lost but the staff was still very kind and accommodating and quickly sent over a waiter to get us food and drink. The show was excellent and filled with laughs! It was really long too! After the show, they did a little break and came back to do improv! About another 30 mins worth on top of a show that was 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. Thank you for the laughs and hospitality; we will come back again! read more

Gayle and I recently attended a really funny and most satisfying performance of "Skyline's the Limit" at Toronto's Second City. A few (or so) years ago, we had thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Chicago Second City performance, so we just had to go her while we were in Town. When Second City opened its new One York Street's location several months ago, its mainstage cast promised that the new theatre was the only place in town not in danger of being turned into condos, "because it's already condos!" That's one way to come back after a forced eviction! As it was our first time here, we can say that the stage, lighting, sound, and overall facility (including bar and eats) are all first rate. Suitable for a room full of strangers at a comedy show, one major theme (through a number of skits) in Skyline is the awkwardness of making human connections in the big city. There were a number of skits that way (plus a few on gender identity) of which the show flowed fast, easy, and funny. And as a bonus, the encore was an impressive several minutes of Improv. In my case (and sitting close to the first row), my awkwardness of human connection was being invited on stage as part of an "All Star Wresting" Skit. I was actually their 3rd choice as the 2 folks in front of me implied I'm not going up there!". Cast members were kind and with my participation which centered on answering 2 questions with no time to think: 1. Something about what slogan should our Wresting team use? Make it So! It was either that or "Today is a Good Day to Die!" 2. What nasty wresting move should our team us? The Cobra Clutch! I had a great time, with Gayle being floored that I even went up there as I hate playing charades. I only wish she would have broken house rules and taken a few pictures during my "performance". Note: My posted pictures are either during curtain call or snuck during the encore. read more

Great night- we went while visiting Toronto with our 3 adult kids (17,19,21). We had dinner there before hand- friendly service and good food. Loved The Stephen Colberry cocktail! The fun continued with a fantastic performance by the SC comedy team and excellent staff! Woudl definitely recommend! read more

One of the most fun nights and definitely best spent $30 laughing the night away. We went for the swipe right show that's going on right now for Valentine's and it's really good. Every improv comedian was top notch and we laughed the night away. The theater is new and cozy and even though we took value tickets, we had really good viewing of the show. They have QR code ordering system from the table which is pretty slick. The lounge area too for indulging before and after the show looks fancy and new. Knocked off a star because the food wasn't so great. We ordered fries - come on guys, how can you screw up fries? Unseasoned fried potatoes - that's what they were. Our beer was flat. We wanted to let our wait staff know but they were hardly coming by because of the online ordering system. Even though they have online ordering, they should check in on customers. Another example, we asked for waters and napkins and they waiter never came back. So if they really want to complete the loop on online ordering, they should provision on the same website the ability to let customers order/ask for help for things are free like waters, napkins or swap out bad beer. I hope they can take this feedback and improve their service! read more

I'm in love with The Second City! It completely lived up to my expectations and then some. As an SNL loyalist, I'm familiar with the comedic lore and importance of The Second City in producing some of the best comedic talents ever. When I heard they had just upgraded to a brand new space, it was an immediate no-brainer for us to see a show during our trip. Their new location is sparkling, stylish and full of character. This is what an improv entertainment experience should be and it's done with class, charisma and personality. If this was in my backyard, I would be here constantly. I'd be a member. Whatever the word is. We saw Skyline's the Limit and it was FUNNY. The show was effortless, experiential and filled with a range of different humor. I couldn't believe how fast it felt like it went by, because it was just that good. You can order food and drink from your app at your seats, which is most appreciated. Staff was super helpful and kind regarding helping us with Accessible seating. Original and live entertainment at this caliber is rare anymore. I couldn't trust anyone who didn't give this local and special historic place 5-stars. Our only regret was that we didn't somehow make plans to come here every day over our Toronto weekend. We had that much fun. Toronto, you are so very lucky this is in your backyard! If you're visiting, this is the most no-brainer stop you could put on your itinerary for a fun night out! read more

I've reviewed The Second City before so I'll make it quick. But I can add that this new space is beautiful and perhaps a rare case where a business could come back even better after forced eviction due to condo development. There's a much better stage with great lighting. And the lounge/bar area is so much nicer and bigger than before. A huge upgrade in every way. Other than that, I'm glad to have them back. I love comedy and I'll always enjoy myself at Second City. Even the 'worst' night is about a 4/5 as the comedians have gone through auditions, are trained and there's lots of good writing. It's basically a guarantee of a good night out. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! We came here for a show on New Years Eve and had a fantastic experience. The Ambiance: The ambiance was amazing! When you come up the escalators and enter the third-floor, you see fancy lights, an usher and a beautiful environment. The space has multiple bars and tons of seating. The views out of the big glass windows are fantastic! The seating in the new theatre is much more spacious than the old location. The Show: The show was great! The actors did a fantastic job and the service at our table was fantastic! They have a strict no photo policy but the space is beautiful and you should definitely check it out. Would we go back? Yes! We would definitely go back for the show, drinks or a bite to eat. read more

Some of the best comedy the vibrant Toronto scene has to offer. A comedy staple for a reason and the current mainstage cast night after night prove why Second City is the upper echelon. read more

Good solid night of entertainment. Observations: Best food and drink service I've ever had in a comedy club. Specialty drinks were excellent and even the limited pedestrian food offerings of good quality. Venue was also pretty good - attractive bar area where you can chill out an hour before the show or an hour after. The talent and skits were good but not amazing. Three male and three female performers seemed evenly matched and kept things rolling but I don't anticipate seeing any of them on SNL soon. Improv portions seem a little bit awkward and we're not the highlight. Some rehearsed skits original and did have me howling. Altogether a really friendly and feel good vibe but nothing that will knock your socks off but in the end you really can't lose. A good night out. read more

Being new to Toronto this was the first entertainment I visit. I loved it everything to the show and the service all the to the VIBE. I most definitely will go back great spot!! read more
