Second City and Improv Olypics are two variations of Chicago comedy.
Second City usually does scripted shows, while Improv Olypmics (now iO Theater) does improv comedy--unscripted comedy usually started by audience suggestions.
In my experience Second City is slower paced and more deliberate--usually more political, although you can tell by reading the show descriptions. Improv comedy tends to be quite fast paced and can go from raunchy to political and back faster than you can blink an eye.
