Its immeasurable influence also extends to television, film, and the Broadway stage. Mike Thomas interviewed scores of key figures who have contributed to Second City s vast legacy its stars as well as those who worked and continue to work behind the scenes to create this entertaining and informative oral history. The story is equal parts legendary highlights, gossip, and insight into how the theater s brand of comedy was and is created.
