Berkeley Repertory Theatre has announced that Chicago comedy theater the Second City will perform their show The Second City’s Dysfunctional Holiday Revue December 5-31.

Described as "a fast-paced, interactive comedy revue filled with style and wit — where even Rudolph is fair game," The Second City’s Dysfunctional Holiday Revue is seasonal satire "where neither holiday film classics, family gatherings, nor Christmas carols are too sacred."

Founded in Chicago in 1959, the Second City has become the premier training ground for the comedy world's best and brightest.

Berkeley Repertory Theatre has provided a welcoming home for emerging and established artists since 1968. In four decades, four million people have enjoyed nearly 400 shows at Berkeley Rep. These shows have gone on to win five Tony Awards, seven Obie Awards, nine Drama Desk Awards, and one Grammy Award, among other honors.
