SECOND TO NONE<br />
What do John Candy, Tina Fey and Mike Myers have<br />
in common? Aside from being hilarious brunettes,<br />
they’re all alumni of Chicago’s Second City improv<br />
theater, along with countless other heavies, from<br />
Joan Rivers to 30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer. Opened in<br />
1959, Second City forged a new genre somewhere<br />
between standup comedy and theater. Experience it<br />
for yourself at one of the nightly shows. Appearing<br />
this month are South Side of Heaven, a hilarious look<br />
at Chicago’s South Side, and Fair & Unbalanced, a<br />
revue of some of the theater’s greatest hits. You’ll<br />
probably see some future Saturday Night Live stars<br />
here, which is why the theater continues to be such<br />
a draw and also why you should book early.<br />
