Went to Second City about a year ago. I think they did one sketch that wasn't political. If you're a leftie, you'll be in good company. If you're a rightie and they find out, they'll show you the door.

I didn't find the writing particularly clever...they just spouted political truisms and waited for the applause. It was a kind of humorless comedy that reminded me of SNL in the mid-nineties. I found they also relied heavily on repetition. Something would be mildly funny the first time, but then they'd repeat it six or seven more times. Think of sketches that rely on a single catch phrase being repeated endlessly...

The show also wasn't improv, it was all scripted. I was very, very dissapointed with the experience overall.
