Famed comedy school Second City is touring with a new show this holiday season, and it’s coming to Fayetteville next month.

The new show, called Second City’s Nut Cracking Holiday Review, will debut on tour this winter, and they’ll be stoping in two for two nights of performances Dec. 5-6 at Walton Arts Center.

For those who aren’t familiar, Second City is the improv school that has launched the careers of some of the biggest names in comedy today, including John Belushi, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Stephen Colber and countless others.

According to their website, the new show “features a seasonal blend of hilarious scenes, songs and (their) trademark improvisation with a sprig of holiday mischief for a night of spirited fun.”

We happen to have a pair of tickets to give away to their Fayetteville performance. Maybe you’ll win them, and see the next Second City star before they’re famous. Good luck.

How to enter

We’ve done giveaways on several Second City shows in the past, and we always use the same criteria to enter.

It’s fun to talk about, though, so we’re doing it again. Leave a comment with your favorite alumni member from the Second City (here’s a list), and you’re entered.
