Welcome to The Second City Archives, in which we post an exclusive clip each week of some of comedy’s biggest superstars performing early in their careers on the legendary Chicago stage. Second City has generously given us a glimpse into their extensive archive of live performances, and over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing some rare and retro comedy never before seen on the web.
Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson’s new show Detroiters premiered on Comedy Central last night, and in case you were wondering how long they’ve been friends, this week we’ve rounded up several clips of Richardson and Robinson performing at The Second City together back before they landed big TV gigs. Above, watch a 2011 clip featuring Tim Robinson’s wonderfully dark pizza rolls commercial audition, then check out a couple more clips below featuring Richardson, Allison Bills, Tim Mason, Edgar Blackmon, and more:
