CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The Second City is coming to Cap City. That’s according to a news release from Laramie County Community College, which announced that Second City Improv — a troupe which launched the careers of famed entertainers like Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Bill Murray and others — is performing at the college on Feb. 5.
The Second City is “celebrated for its sharp improv and musical comedy,” the release stated, and it will be presenting its “Mo’ Funny, Less Problems” show at the Surbrugg/Prentice Auditorium on LCCC’s Cheyenne campus.
