As most of the actors in Baby Wants Candy are not well known, famous actors, it is a way to begin an acting career. There is a remarkable "Saturday Night Live" air to their performance, it is no surprise that SNL premier actors such as Rachel Dratch and Seth Meyer got their start in the group. It requires true talent and composure to be able to not only perform on the spot, but to perform well.
Baby Wants Candy is centered outside of Chicago, which is a well known hub for up-and-coming actors. The improv scene is extremely popular in Chicago as well, so it makes sense that groups like Baby Wants Candy do well there. Chicago is even home to the Second City school for improvisation, the most highly esteemed improvisation training school in the Country. Institutions like these provide great opportunities for aspiring actors, however the rate of extreme success is pretty low. Individual actors typically come from acting troupes, such as Baby Wants Candy. What they see as an opportunity to advance a career, the rest of us see as pure entertainment.
