The Second City Unscripted: Revolution and Revelation at the World-Famous Comedy Theater by Mike Thomas
2.0
Not a bad book. Provides a nice, historical look at the company. Having spent some time in Chicago and familiar with the brand and its famous alumni, the book reveals its history and evolution, relevance and theoretical underpinnings, in such way that makes me want to review what I had seen and what I had thought about Second City.
Read in short clips from many of the important players, the book accomplishes its task in an oral retelling. While it contains gems of anecdotes about characters and characters of John Belushi to Chris Farley, Steve Carrell to Stephen Colbert, the book lacks as many of these as one would want or expect. And that keeps it from being a must-read.
