Reality Detox: The Improv Experience

Reality Detox: The Improv Experience is a high-energy night of improvisation from The Second City, with a few sketch surprises mixed in along the way. Built fresh each night and shaped by the people in the room, every performance is different from the last. Funny, fast, and wildly unpredictable, it’s a chance to escape reality and enjoy a night of laughter. Come be part of the comedy magic. ***For
