The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Sam Brown is a writer and performer who helped establish The Whitest Kids U' Know with Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger at New York's School of Visual Arts. He became one of the group's five members, contributing to the live shows that developed into its Fuse and IFC television sketch series.

Brown's screen work with the troupe includes The Civil War on Drugs, and his later collaborations include Buckerson & Meyers. His career began with comedy and video experiments before the television show, and he has continued working across writing, performance and comedy instruction.
