The Second City comedy theater is essentially Mecca for aspiring comedians. Alumni of the institution include Chris Farley, Bill Murray, Jane Lynch, both Key and Peele, Harold Ramis and thousands of others. Every year, young comics flock to the school hoping to cut their teeth on the Second City stage through improv comedy training.
Before Fey and Dratch were the bonafide female comedic powerhouses they are today, they were those young comics trying to get their licks in at the Second City.
