Whitest Kids U' Know at UNL April 21

The University Program Council at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln presents sketch comedy troupe and television personalities The Whitest Kids U' Know, in "Comedy Sketch Uncensored," at an 8 p.m. April 21 performance.

Tickets for the show, at the Rococo Theatre, 140 N. 13th St., are $8 for students with N Card, and $13 for the public.

The cast of Trevor Moore, Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter have performed as a group since 2000 when Moore, a young comedian from Virginia, transferred to New York's School of Visual Arts film program. Having previously produced a local TV sketch-comedy show, "The Trevor Moore Show," in Virginia, Moore decided to start a comedy troupe with the eventual goal of replicating his earlier success on a national level. After making the rounds at local New York City comedy clubs, he eventually met Brown from Massachusetts and graphic design student/actor Cregger, also from Virginia. By chance, all three attended the School of Visual Arts, and they also all lived in the same dormitory.

Trevor Moore has said that the group's name originated during a freestyle rapping session on a subway, when one of their friends said, "You guys are the whitest kids I know." The Whitest Kids U' Know held frequent free shows at the School of Visual Art's amphitheater. Starting in 2003, the reinvented troupe started touring comedy venues in New York City, concluding in early 2005 with a well-attended show at Caroline's, the famous club in Times Square. The group still regularly performs at Pianos in the Lower East Side and Rififi's in the East Village. They were accepted into the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2006 and won for "Best Sketch Group." The group has a television show, "Whitest Kids U Know," now in its third season on the Independent Film Channel. Moore and Cregger recently completed production for their film, "Miss March," which they wrote, directed and starred.
