Great Date Giveaway: Tickets to Second City at Walton Arts Center

When is the last time you laughed — hard? We’re talking about honest-to-goodness belly laughing. If it has been too long since you’ve laughed or since you’ve had a good date night or fun girls’ night out, we’ve got just the ticket.

In fact, we’ve got TWO tickets for one lucky mama to an incredibly funny show called Second City for President — hitting the Walton Arts Center stage at 6p.m. this Saturday, August 18, 2012.

ABOUT THE SHOW: Some might say our political process is often laughable. And you’ll definitely be laughing about it when the comedians in Second City for President take the stage. They’ll make jokes at the expense of both sides of the political aisle as well as a few that are unpolitical, uncensored and hilarious.

Second City is an improvisational comedy troupe from Chicago that has been around for more than 50 years doing satiric skits. This show will have scripted and non-scripted elements and audience members will love being part of the show and playing along with this next generation of comic legends as they poke fun at the election.

Even the worst days are made better by these two!
