| About these ratings | ||
Just because the sun goes down doesn't mean the fun has to end. Located several blocks west of the Chicago History Museum is the original Second City, a lively comedy club that has kept Chicago in stitches for more than 50 years. Second City has since expanded to include a theater in Toronto and several training centers. But it was here in the Windy City that many popular jokesters -- including Bill Murray, John Candy, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Amy Poehler and Stephen Colbert -- launched their careers. If you're looking for a laugh, this is the place to go.
