Just for the record, dws@mitccc, Second City *still* performs in Toronto,
Ontario; I saw them just a few weeks back.  Their stage show is extremely
good; I only wish I could say the same for SCTV.  I can sympathize with
them, though; churning out an hour and a half of comedy every week for a
few seasons is difficult to do, and losing Moranis and Thomas was a bit of
a blow.  For those who like revue-type comedy, there's another group here
in Southern Ontario called the "Acme Harpoon Company".  They do stuff much
like what you'd see in Second City's stage show, plus some genuinely good
improvisational comedy (lots better than Second City's).  There's also a
group called Theatresports, which is entirely improvisational and which
performs regularly in Waterloo, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary, Vancouver,
Seattle and probably elsewhere.
