Laughter: The Chicago Tradition

It is impossible to imagine comedy in the past 100 years without the Second City, and it is, of course, impossible to imagine The Second City without Chicago. Here we explore the origins of improv and the Chicago tradition of comedy, as well of some of our great comic minds like Dick Gregory and Harold Ramis.
