What do Tina Fey, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Farley, and Stephen Colbert all have in common? They are all alumni of the most famous comedy club in the world: The Second City! There are two, “The Second City” comedy clubs; one here in Chicago, and its sister (by the same name, ‘don’t cha know’) in Toronto!
I am absolutely thrilled that I will have the honor of interviewing Robin Hammond, Director of Marketing for, “The Second City” here in Chicago! My post will be coming in September, so please stay tuned!
Cooool man!
Thank you, John!! 🙂 Cher xo
Awesome!! the legends and you are going to be IN that building?? :O
Haha, well um yeah, I’ll be in that building, and their years of making people laugh will be in the air, I just know it! ;-P Cher xo *LOL*
P.S. Hi Andy! 🙂
I know you’ll be the reason for smiles Cher 🙂 xo!
You’re just saying that because you ate all the ice cream!! *grin* Thanks, Andy!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Cher xo
Naw it’s true but hey if u feel that’s the case? *Bow* 😛
HAHAHA Oh that is too funny!! FYI, I still have those crappy ice cream bars in the freezer! *Remember the ones I was bragging about but when I got them my bragging rights stopped!* Birthday cake flavor; boy, did they ever get it wrong! ;-P Thank you, Andy!
I thought you were done with those lol! that was like weeks ago!
I know! But I still have them sitting there! *LOL*
Ur saving up for later or what 😛
You mean why do I still have those bars? I am not sure because I really don’t like them! *LOL* Um, maybe it is because I am too embarrassed to throw them out what with my bragging about them to you and all!! 😉
HAH that’s a good reason 😉
It’s the only one that makes sense to me!! Hahaha!! 😉
for now 😛
Yeah, well, you know how it goes!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I should no doubt come up with something else by tomorrow!!!
Very cool…they were our ‘end of conference entertainment’ when I was there for work earlier this summer. So so good…look forward to your post! 🙂
Hi Bonnie! It is so nice to see you! Ah, that is awesome! They are fantastic, aren’t they? And Robin Hammond is so gracious to allow me to interview her for the post! I know Robin has done a lot of creative work as well so I’m really excited to speak with her!! Cher xo
I’d love to see a show at Second City one of these days/years.
Me too, Debra! They are an absolutely stellar group!
Will definitely look forward to that!
Thank you so much, Veronica! I am really grateful to have the opportunity to write it!
That’s fantastic. I’m looking forward to the interview.
Thank you, Joseph! I really appreciate your comments and I am really looking forward to writing it!!!
Absolutely will stay tuned!!
Thank you, Carol!! I’m so happy about that!
Good going! Everyone always gives SNL the credit for great comedians and forget SCTV! Didn’t Shelly Long (Cheers fame) come from there too?
Ah, thank you! Yes, SCTV produced many amazing talents, but a lot ?came from Second City either here or in Toronto.
Oh yes, she did and there are many, many more!!!
Good luck and have fun with it!
Thank you so much, Mike! Cher xo
