The E.T.C is our favorite of the two Second City venues in Chicago (the other one being the Main Stage) because of its more intimate nature. Tables face the stage and if you arrive early enough (seating available an hour before the show opens) you may find yourself sitting right in front of the stage. This is my family's favorite thing to do in Chicago, although it is not suitable for young children under 13. The shows are always fresh, no matter how long into the run, a major achievement in my book. Come on Saturday and stay for the late night improv after the main show. Will call tickets can be purchased on their website and are always worth getting in advance.
Pros: The funniest shows anywhere!
Cons: city parking limited
