The Second City announced plans Tuesday to open a physical location in New York this November, alongside its first slate of shows and cast.
The improvisational comedy enterprise, which supports live theater and training, will house its new nearly 12,000 square-foot entertainment complex at 64 N. 9th St. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Set to open on Nov. 16, the venue will feature two cabaret-style live theaters, seven Training Center classrooms, and a full-service restaurant and bar.
The Second City currently has two other physical locations, with its Toronto location celebrating its 50th year, followed by a 65th anniversary for The Second City Chicago in 2024. The opening of the New York location arrives as the comedy brand looks to expand content offerings onto new platforms beyond the live stage, according to the company.

In the always expanding, and continually more fascinating world of webseries, which now includes some huge names, Above Average is becoming a major player. Their latest effort, Approach the Bench, features Bob Balaban as a judge, and showcases the strange conversations that take place during sidebars. The first episode, for example, finds the judge and attorneys trying to decide if one of the jurors is Danny Aiello.
