Two iconic American brands, The Second City and Dunkin’, are joining forces to present “Ring Lights & Lattes,” a live comedy show with caffeine-fueled fun. “Ring Lights & Lattes” runs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. from Sept. 18 through Oct. 24 at The Second City’s UP Comedy Club in the heart of Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood at 1616 N Wells St.

The intimate setting is perfect for the interactive experiences that Second City is known for. Every audience member is sure to feel like a part of the action.

A Milestone Celebration

As The Second City nears its 65th anniversary this December, “Ring Lights & Lattes” is a fitting celebration of the theater’s storied history in Chicago’s comedy scene. Since opening in 1959 as a small cabaret, The Second City has grown into one of the world’s leading improv comedy institutions. It even launched the careers of comedy legends like Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Keegan-Michael Key. 

“Ring Lights & Lattes” is not just a comedy show; it’s an interactive experience where anything can happen. Each performance features laugh-out-loud sketches and improvised moments, making every night completely different. Whether you’re fueled by Dunkin’s coffee, a fan of The Second City, or both, this collaboration is perfect for those looking for a unique night out. You might even catch an appearance from Dunkin’s famous mascot, adding an extra layer of fun to the evening.

“This isn’t just a show; it’s a celebration,” said Second City Works Creative Director Tyler Dean Kempf. 

With tickets starting at just $15, this is an affordable way to enjoy top-tier live comedy in the city. The show advertises a PG rating, so feel free to bring the kids for an evening of family fun. Tickets are available now, either by phone at (312) 337-3992 or online at secondcity.com/shows/chicago
