VEA Newport Beach’s Coastal Comedy Collaboration

VEA Newport Beach, an upscale getaway overlooking the stunning Pacific Ocean, is poised to elevate the entertainment scene in Southern California by partnering with the renowned comedy institution, The Second City. This collaboration announces an exciting event titled "The Second City Goes Coastal," marked for June 12, 2026, an evening guaranteed to deliver laughter against a beautiful seaside backdrop.

The upcoming event promises a dynamic blend of sharp improv, audience interaction, and classic moments from The Second City’s celebrated comedy repertoire. Set on VEA's picturesque Sunset Lawn, attendees will be in for a 60-minute performance designed to keep everyone on the edge of their seat. Each show is created in the moment, ensuring that no two performances will be the same, thus making it a truly unique experience for all.

VEA Newport Beach's General Manager, Debbie Snavely, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, noting, "At VEA Newport Beach, we're all about giving our community and guests world-class experiences. The chance to collaborate with such an iconic comedy institution is truly remarkable, and we’re excited to showcase The Second City's talent right here in Newport Beach."

This project not only introduces a refreshed format of live improv but also celebrates The Second City's vibrant community in the West Coast. The show will feature a variety of performances, including short-form improv games and interactive audience segments along with favorite scenes from The Second City's illustrious archives.

Tyler Dean Kempf, a representative from The Second City, shared, "We’re thrilled to partner with VEA for The Second City Goes Coastal and to engage the amazing West Coast community that has embraced us for years. Orange County is a new venture for us, and the coastal energy of Newport Beach perfectly aligns with the fresh and lively vibe we strive to bring to every show."
