Celebrating its 67th anniversary in 2026, the world’s most influential name in comedy, The Second City, is thrilled to return to Paramount’s Copley Theatre with their newest revue.

Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons is a celebration of legendary American comedy over 65 years in the making. Featuring a hilarious array of classic sketch comedy and songs from the company’s rich history, fresh new favorites, as well as the signature brand of irreverent improv that The Second City is famous for.
