'She The People' Brings Female Comedians to Second City

On October 20, head to Second City in Chicago when a retinue of the city's most talented comedians present "She The People," a comedy show running weekends through November 12.

We'll bet you 72 cents on the dollar you'll fall head over patriarchal heels for the women of Second City as they nevertheless persist in this mimosa-and-madness-fueled feminist foray that takes on everything from having it all to having that sick feeling your government is trying to send your sex back to the Middle Ages. It's time for women across the nation to collectively reclaim comedy!
The R-rated show is 90 minutes with a brief intermission, for a limited seven-week run.

Director Carly Heffernan manages a cast featuring Alex Bellisle, Carisa Barreca, Katie Caussin, Maria Randazzo, Rashawn Scott and Kimberly Michelle Vaughn.
