SUMMARY:The Second City’s Jack Frost Roasting on an Open Fire
DESCRIPTION:Need something better than old reruns of A Christmas Story? Want to see some real nutcrackers this holiday season?! Dash on through the snow (even though we don’t get any anymore) to The Second City’s Jack Frost Roasting on an Open Fire.  \nSkip the same old holiday routines and experience a comedy revue like no other. Join us as we roast everything from classic holiday movies to festive family gatherings in this fast-paced\, interactive show.

Co-founded by Bernie Sahlins\, Howard Alk\, and Spolin’s son Paull Sills\, the small cabaret theater grew to become the most influential and prolific comedy empire in the world\, developing an entirely unique way of creating art and fostering generation after generation of superstars. Notable alumni include Dan Aykroyd\, Jim Belushi\, Rachel Dratch\, Chris Farley\, Tina Fey\, Eugene Levy\, Linda Lavin\, Bill Murray\, Mike Myers\, Catherine O’Hara\, Joan Rivers\, Jason Sudeikis\, Fred Willard\, and many more.  Learn more at www.secondcity.com
