Hilarious! Black by Popular Demand: A Black Excellence Revue at The Second City (Through May 25, 2024)

Here are the Top 5 reasons to see Black By Popular Demand:

  1. In one sketch, four cast members come out with balloons and/or pillows stuffed into the back of their pants for the big booty sketch. It’s absolutely hilarious. One of them jokes that he can’t use a fireman’s pole because when he hits the ground, he just bounces all the way back up! Arlieta Hall shines in this sketch.

  1. In another scene, a young woman’s family is appalled at her new bangs. Also, they can’t believe that she listens to Paramore. Faith Valerie is so funny in this one as the young woman.
  1. The dancing in the show is fantastic. Most of the cast has a dance solo that has the crowd cheering. Sameul B. Jackson’s dance is one of the best.

  1. There is also a card magic show by Deshawn Mason that features Adonis Holmes on a mic giving hilarious commentary.
  1. In one sketch a young couple is on their balcony talking to an old couple also on their balcony in Wrigleyville. Both couples are played by Breanna Ghostone and Samuel B. Jackson in a hilarious fashion.
