The Second City

The Second City's ten nearest audiences span comedians, digital media, and print — a cross-kind cluster with no other Destinations in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; scores across the top 10 run from 0.93 down to 0.91, a narrow band consistent with the flat shape.

Three of the ten neighbors are comedians: Neal Brennan (0.92), Megan Amram (0.92), and Rob Delaney (0.91). Two are websites — The A.V. Club (0.93) and Consequence of Sound (0.92) — and two are magazines: CityLab (0.91) and Paste Magazine (0.91). The remaining three are a lifestyle influencer (Kelly Oxford, 0.93), an author (Dan Savage, 0.92), and a journalist (Ira Glass, 0.92). The mix skews toward culturally engaged media consumers — comedy, indie music coverage, and longform journalism — rather than anything that looks like a venue or entertainment destination.

The flat distribution across this varied set suggests The Second City draws an audience whose shape is defined less by a single adjacent community than by a broad, media-literate sensibility.
