South Side Second City Alumni Show

Tonight I went to see the South Side Second City Alumni Show at the local arts center. The performers are all former Second City members, all from the South Side of Chicago, many of them from my neighborhood. Probably the best known performer was George Wendt, who used to play Norm on Cheers.

Also on stage was Tim O'Malley, who tutored the improv troupe I was in. I would tell you the name of our troupe, except we could never quite agree on a name.

For a while it was Chicago Stew.
There were other names, too.

It's hard to achieve lasting fame
If your group keeps changing its name.
