✨Legendary Comedy Troupe at the Bankhead THIS FRIDAY!✨

Legendary. Comedy. Hilarity.

Comedy fans, this one’s for you. I’ve been to a lot of comedy shows at the Bankhead over the years (seriously, so many), but I’m especially excited about this Friday night. The Second City—yes, that Second City—is coming to Livermore as part of their 65th anniversary tour! This legendary comedy institution launched the careers of icons like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Keegan-Michael Key, and Catherine O’Hara. They’re bringing back fan-favorite sketches, songs, and characters from the vault—and I cannot wait to laugh my face off. 🎭🤣

Heads up: mature themes, so leave the littles at home. Ages 17+ recommended. Grab your tickets, and I’ll see you there this Friday at 8pm!
