What do George Wendt, Bob Odenkirk, and current Late Show host Stephen Colbert have in common? One of the most important comedy enterprises in the country— The Second City.
The legendary comedy club and school of improvisation will show off its talents in Toledo at the Valentine Theater on Saturday, April 16 with their travelling show, “Hooking Up with The Second City”.
