You’re probably most familiar with Second City as the comedy club that launched the careers of John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Dan Aykroyd, but it’s also developed a reputation as one of the best dinner theatres in the GTA. Unlike other venues, Second City offers the option of a show with either lunch or dinner at Wayne Gretzky’s Toronto restaurant, giving you twice as many chances to be entertained. Arrive hungry and with an open mind.

Even when you know how it’s done, it doesn’t diminish the remarkable effect. The actors are developmentally challenged and there’s a good chance you’ll be able to meet them during the after-theatre coffee.
