28 - The Michigan Daily Weekend Magazine - Thursday, October 22, 1998 0 The Michigan Daily Week Di'd you know? Even if President Bill Clinton is not impeached, Vice PresidentAl Gore could still be our next commander-in-hief if he puts together a good run for the 2000 presidential elections. Remember, two years in politics is an eternity and even the most shocking and highly-publicized scandals eventually fade from public memory. Almost one third, 13, of our total 42 presidents served as second-in-command before occupying the oval office. They were: John Adams Thomas Jefferson Martin Van Buren John Tyler Millard Fillmore Andrew Johnson Chester A. Arthur Theodore Roosevelt Harry S. Truman Lyndon B. Johnson Richard M. Nixon Gerald R.

Tonight the touring company based out of The Second City Detroit sweeps into Ann Arbor with an 8 p.m. show in the Michigan League Ballroom. The show boasts an ensemble cast of Lisa Melinn, Jeff Fritz, Antoine McKay, Topher Owen, Marc Warzecha, and Mary Vinette, all Detroit natives who have been seen frequently in comedy clubs throughout the state. The Detroit touring company has vis- ited Ann Arbor before, but this is its first visit to the University campus. Ann Arbor is only one of the stops on the touring company's state wide jour- ney; recently, it has performed at uni- versities throughout Michigan such as Michigan State, Oakland, Western, Northern, and Eastern, as well as for corporations, dinner theaters, and clubs across the state. This year marks important anniver- saries for all The Second City establish- ments. The three Second Cities in Chicago, Toronto and Detroit are cele- brating their 40, 25 and five-year anniversaries, respectively. All three Second Cities have their own separate touring companies. The Toronto troupe performs at Canadian venues, Detroit's cast ventures throughout Michigan, and Chicago's comedians tour the remainder of the United States. The troupe also performs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. through the month of October at The Second City Detroit. Also, in cele- bration of its fifth anniversary, the main stage cast is beginning a new show titled "Daimlers are a Girl's Best Friend" on November 19. The new show, said associate produc- er Julie Clement, is a retrospective of the past five years and includes all the best material from Detroit's main cast. These "regulars" can be seen in Detroit Wednesday through Sunday at 8 p.m., with another show at 10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Tonight's performance will consist of songs, scenes and improv games in which the audience will have a say at deciding the show. "It's a compilation of the entire Second City history," said Clement. "The show is full of political, social and atypical humor." And the most important question - why should students abandon their books and papers to attend a night of inexpensive comedy close to home? If that in itself isn't a good enough reason, Clement had another take on it. "Shows are a lot of fun and definite- ly unusual, not like any comedy show you've seen before;' she says. "It's a good time ... they make you think at the same time they make you laugh, and vice versa. It's all reality based ... our situations and lives are funny. We just take reality and show it to you" Tickets ame on sale in the Michigan Union Ticket Ofice, and cost $7 with student I.D.
