## Which December Night Should You Book?

With 16 performances on the calendar, the choice comes down to three windows with distinct crowd patterns and price dynamics.

**Week Of December 15 (Tuesday–Thursday)**

The December 15, 16, and 17 performances open the holiday stretch. Weeknight shows from Tuesday through Thursday usually draw smaller crowds, so the cast plays to a more intimate room and the energy can feel more exploratory. These are the lowest-demand nights in the run and a practical choice for anyone who wants a relaxed experience without weekend pricing pressure. Weekday seats for *Pandemonium, Please Hold* start at $40.

[Choose Dec 15](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7re-x&utm_medium=affiliate)

[Choose Dec 16](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7reqk&utm_medium=affiliate)

[Choose Dec 17](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7rep3&utm_medium=affiliate)

**Weekend Of December 18–20 (Friday–Sunday)**

For The Second City’s 114th Mainstage Revue, *Pandemonium, Please Hold*, December 18 and 19 each carry two performances, an early 6:30 PM show and a late 9:30 PM show. Friday and Saturday performances regularly sell out during the holiday season, and Saturday late shows sit at the top of that curve. Saturday 9:30 PM shows start at $61.95. Weekend prices can run considerably higher, and Saturday is typically the most expensive night. The late Saturday show on December 19 is the single highest-demand slot of the opening weekend. Sunday, December 20 offers weekend energy at a slightly lower price point than Saturday evening.

[Pick Dec 18 Early Show](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7re4V&utm_medium=affiliate)

**Holiday Run: December 22–25 (Tuesday–Friday)**

The December 22 and 23 performances fall in the final pre-Christmas window, when visiting family groups and office parties are at peak volume in Chicago. December 24 (Christmas Eve) and December 25 (Christmas Day) are outlier dates for a Mainstage revue, which makes them distinctive options for anyone already in the city over the holiday. Demand patterns for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are less predictable than standard weekend shows, yet the novelty of the dates makes early booking a sensible move.

**Post-Christmas: December 26–30 (Saturday–Wednesday)**

December 26 again offers two shows, early and late, on a Saturday, which makes it the highest-demand slot of the post-Christmas stretch. Demand then falls off sharply. December 27 is a Sunday show, and the run closes with weeknight performances on December 29 and 30. Those final two weeknight dates are the quietest of the entire holiday run and suit anyone who wants to close out December without competing for seats.

## The Rest Of December At Second City

[The Mainstage is one of three resident stages at Second City Chicago, alongside the e.t.c. Theater and UP Comedy Club, which together with several studio theaters make up the venue’s stages](https://www.secondcity.com/plan-your-visit-chicago). The broader holiday lineup includes several contrasting options.

**Not Today, Santa** (UP Comedy Club) runs November 25 through December 28, 2026, with [tickets starting at a base price of $45, though official ticketing pages for specific performances list prices starting at $51.95](https://us.tickets.secondcity.com/event/not-today-santa-the-second-city-mainstage-r8i5ep). The show features fan-favorite sketches, sharp satire, and festive material aimed at adults, friends, and office parties.

**Rudolph Runs Wild** is the family-friendly holiday show, running November 27 through December 27, 2026, with [tickets starting at $30, though actual ticketing pages list seats from about $36.95](https://www.secondcity.com/shows/chicago/rudolph-runs-wild-chi). It blends songs and sketches from The Second City’s archives with new material written for young audiences and interactive improv.

**Reality Detox: The Improv Experience** (e.t.c. Theater) is an open-run improv show built fresh each night, with [tickets starting at $19 according to The Second City’s official show page](https://www.secondcity.com/shows/chicago/reality-detox-the-improv-experience-chi). It serves visitors who want improv without holiday framing.

**Best Of The Second City** runs at both the Chicago Mainstage and UP Comedy Club, drawing on sketch comedy and songs from The Second City’s archives plus improvisation from the Touring Company.

Second City also operates a New York location with its own Mainstage, so Chicago-specific December programming remains distinct from the New York calendar.

## December Patterns And Booking Takeaways

December at Second City Chicago clusters into three clear intent categories. The Mainstage revue *Pandemonium, Please Hold* serves audiences who want the flagship sketch-and-improv experience. Holiday-specific productions such as *Not Today, Santa* and *Rudolph Runs Wild* target seasonal and family audiences. The e.t.c. stage with *Reality Detox* caters to visitors who prefer improv without holiday framing.

The Mainstage run from December 15–30 concentrates demand into two weekend clusters, December 18–20 and December 26–27, with a high-novelty holiday window in between from December 22–25. December weekend dates for Chicago holiday ticketed events usually face the highest demand, and the pattern holds here. The four Saturday slots, December 19 early and late and December 26 early and late, sit among the most pressure-tested dates in the run.

This dated, linkable calendar gathers every December night the show is bookable and connects each one straight to checkout. Readers can scan the month at a glance, compare crowd patterns, and move directly from research to purchase.

## Know Before You Go

The following practical details apply to *Pandemonium, Please Hold* at the Second City Mainstage (1616 N. Wells St., Chicago, IL).

**Run time:** [According to The Second City’s official listing, the show runs approximately 120 minutes including a 15-minute intermission, though some ticketing and awards listings give the running time as 1 hour 50 minutes](https://www.jeffawards.org/jeffplays/pandemonium-please-hold-2026).

**Age policy:** Guests must be 13 or older, and guests aged 13–17 must be accompanied by an adult. The show carries an R rating for language and innuendo in a nightclub atmosphere where alcohol is served.

**Seating and arrival:** Tickets are purchased for a seating section rather than specific seats, and a House Manager assigns seats based on arrival time and the number of parties expected for that performance, at the House Manager’s discretion. The theater opens for seating 45 minutes before showtime, and arriving 30–40 minutes early helps guests get a drink and settle without rushing. Latecomers may be held at the door until a natural break in the show.

**Dress code:** Casual attire works for the Mainstage. No formal dress requirement applies.

**Price bands:** Weekday tickets start at $40, and Saturday late shows start at $61.95, with Saturday typically the priciest night of the week.

**Parking and transit:** Second City does not validate parking. [The nearest garage is Piper’s Alley Self Park at 230 W. North Ave., located about 264 feet away and recommended by Second City itself for parking](https://www.bestparking.com/chicago-il-parking/destinations/second-city-chicago-parking/). Street parking on weekend evenings is very limited. [The CTA Brown or Purple Line Sedgwick station is a short walk of about two blocks from the Second City theater, roughly a seven-minute walk](https://www.secondcity.com/locations/chicago), and CTA Route 72 (North) serves the North Avenue corridor near the venue.

**Photography and ticket policy:** Photography is not permitted inside the performance space during shows. [The Second City does not allow refunds on Mainstage tickets and all sales are final, though in rare cases and based on availability tickets may be moved to a future show](https://www.secondcity.com/faqs).
