About this Raddle

Improv comedy has been around for millennia, but the modern "rules" of improv were formalized by Chicago’s Second City troupe in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Notable alumni of Second City — and there are many, and the number keeps growing — include Stephen Colbert, Joan Rivers, Eugene Levy, Tina Fey, Tim Robinson, and Dan Aykroyd.
