TORONTO – Global Television and comedy club Second City are teaming up on The Second City Project, a multiplatform collection of addictive, laugh-out-loud content launching on Globaltv.com and Global Go Monday.
Introducing a host of hilarious new comedic characters from the world's premiere name in comedy – the Second City Toronto and Chicago theatres – The Second City Project features sketch comedy at its finest with two parallel worlds: a sleek cinematic world of filmed sketches and semi-scripted scenes from the writers' room.
New sketches will be posted each week, also available on Vine, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, before culminating in a broadcast special on April 19 at 8:30 PM ET/PT on Global.
"The Second City Project is an exciting opportunity for us to move into the digital space with short form comedy that is perfectly suited for the online community," said Shaw Media SVP content Christine Shipton, in the news release. "There is no other brand more synonymous with comedy than Second City, and we couldn't be more thrilled to introduce the incredibly talented group of Second City writer-performers to our audiences through such an engaging platform."
