Second Citizens

For our Season Two finale, Second City "Jack of all trades" Dave Razowsky talks with us about......nearly everything you can regarding The Second City. And with good reason, considering that Dave performed on the Northwest Stage as well as the ETC and Main Stage in Chicago AND he directed shows in Chicago AND was the first Artistic Director of the Second City Los Angeles! (RIP). I've even left out a bunch of stuff so you'll have to listen to find out! -And talk about timing! Mr. Razowsy has just written a book on improv!!! pre-order it at bio.site/DavidRazowsky And thanks to all of our season 2 listeners! If you haven't rated and reviewed us, could you please? The more 5 star ratings and snarky reviews we get, the quicker we will be back for season 3!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondcitizenspod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecondCitizens_

Rebecca Allen is part of a mounting pile of evidence that suggests the best thing to do at the Second City is to get sent away early on and brought back shortly afterwards which I would think gives one a sense of satisfaction (of course our host has a way of finding that sense often).  She describes her up and down and up and wha? journey at the Second City, as well as correcting any errors in Joe's version of their second city touring company audition, from which they were both hired. She also mentions touring the world on a Second City cruise ship and what happened when she got back on dry land. Also other topics!!! We're wrapping up season 2 and hoping the promise of season 3 makes you rate and review us at your soonest convenience, And Happy New Year! if you are into that.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondcitizenspod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecondCitizens_

Throughout our rollicking conversation Inessa reminded me of so many of my Second City friends. We explored more of the Toronto Comedy Scene before ping ponging into a number of comedy topics that Inessa tackles with her tremendous energy. It really was a great time and hopefully now that we've had a few Canadians on it will prime the pump so we can bring you more stories from Toronto, which is nice because our host can't pretend like he knows what he's talking about.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondcitizenspod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecondCitizens_

We welcome our first Canadian Second citizen of the 21st century with Jason Derosse, who reminds Joe of their improbable first meeting on the Toronto Main Stage and also gives us a great account of what the comedy scene in Toronto was in the 2010's. Later on Joe gets envious about the respect improvisers are paid up north and makes a big deal about remembering the name of a comedy producer in Toronto.  Did you remember to rate and review us?

Emily Wilson comes on to trade insults with the host, in order to maintain consistency in their relationship. She also talks about her non-typical road to the main stage, the pressure to perform (especially for the 50th anniversary show) and the various ways we go about motivating ourselves. *Trigger Warning: this episode contains scenes of alcohol consumption and also one of the most touching and simultaniously disgusting stories in the history of backstage pranks.  You know what isn't a prank?
