"...Hallelujah, I thought, watching the hilarious sketch, aided by the generous work of performer Andy Bolduc. Long far too nervous in this arena, Second City finally is coming (again) to the realization that satire has to go after cultural power and the left now has plenty of that power, at least in certain institutions and locations. Here you have a performer who manages both to poke fun at themselves and also press for the boring kind of equality and lampoon virtue signaling. At the same time, it's also a classic family sketch, befitting the times, and I suspect it will land in the Second City book of greatest hits."

"...The new mainstage revue "Do the Right Thing, No Worries If Not" goes the other way. It's a forget-your-troubles, crowd-pleasing kind of show, densely packed with good humor and barely a mention of politics or the issues raging in Chicago. Almost every sketch could drop seamlessly into an episode of "Saturday Night Live." One of the better episodes."

"...In Do the Right Thing, the cast seemingly wears whatever the hell they want. And they’re unafraid of crafting vignettes that delve right into the heart of identity."

"...Second City is a major part of Chicago's theater scene. While it is a comedy club with food and drink, over the years, they have trained and brought some of the funniest people alive to their stages. They do shows, which are called "revues', but knowing that the talent that we see on the stage is the group that wrote the scenes and that this group can change the verbiage on the spot, based on the audience and the times, makes them playwrights. Tonight, thye opened their 110th "mainstage" Revue, "Do The Right Thing, No Worries if Not"."

"...Politics are exhausting, but inevitable and important. People are exhausted, but continue to seek normalcy via social interactions. The Second City’s 110th mainstage show’s bifurcated title reflects those two realities: Do The Right Thing, But No Worries If Not."

"...As is often the case, the best sketches of the night are group sketches. One of these takes place in a Breakfast Club-style high school detention moderated by Cameron. The "students" seek to bug the proctor in any way they can, including passing notes in violation of his direct prohibition. When the notes make their way to audience members, Cameron's teacher finally notices and has them read the (insulting to his character) messages out loud. As usually happens in these shows, the audience members eagerly play along with the improvised conversations that follow. (Speaking of improv, this revue also makes considerable use of unfiltered audience suggestions, which has been lacking in some recent revues.)"

"...Overall, there’s much to see, experience and examine in this show all while getting in the good laughs I think we have all collectively needed perhaps without even knowing it. Raise your hand if that sounds like a good time? It is."

"...The Second City has done it again! The extremely talented, legendary comedy group is sorry, not sorry for making you laugh with the 110th Mainstage revue, "Do the Right Thing, No Worries If Not". Leave your worries at the door and come laugh yourself into euphoria at the things we have in common, navigating relationships, code-switching and even high school on TV. Life is good, and the multiverse is real in this interactive experience that has everything you want in a comedy show: Stage combat! Truth bombs! Very intrusive vibe checks! Do the right thing and don't miss this show!"

"...As usual at The Second City, the mainstage show is created by its cast members. For the evening show I attended, the night after the official opening, one of the key cast members was absent and so were some of his bits. The show is often laugh-out-loud funny, all while making fun of the U.S. Senate, the experience of pregnancy and its medical routines, time-travel movies, uncontrollably hormonal tween-age boys, fat shaming, Irishness and old-school gay stereotypes."
