Second City!

Wow! What a big difference from our last outing. Second City was brilliant in a small theater I have never visited underneath the Alliance.

Comedy and improv have to be excellent for me to be engaged. I couldn't believe all of the inside jokes this group came up with. Making fun of the AJC moving to Dunwoody is one classic example - many of the audience members weren't even aware! The Clark Howard impersonation was a hoot. Nothing was sacred to these folks - racism, sexism, class warfare - they gutted each of them.

I can see why I really like Stephen Colbert so much. These are talented folks!

The theater was very small and personal. Almost uncomfortably so as one of the actresses took the stage to impersonate a Clairmont Lounge 'creature' with a lit cigarette and beer can that she smooshed between her cleavage. She really didn't have much cleavage which made it even more uncomfortable!

The show was smart, hilarious, and exciting. I didn't want it to end. I recommended it to most of my friends.
