The storied Chicago-based comedy empire that launched the careers of Tina Fey, John Belushi and Bill Murray has put itself on the auction block.
The Second City, the Chicago-based improv and sketch comedy brand that spawned Hollywood talent like Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Adam McKay, John Belushi, Bill Murray and Keegan-Michael Key, has put itself up for sale.
Investment bank Houlihan Lokey will advise on the sale of The Second City as part of a formal process to field buyer interest over the coming months. “While all our lives have been affected by the pandemic, The Second City has found green shoots that have further highlighted our growth potential,” Steve Johnston, The Second City president, said in his own statement on Tuesday.
