SLOW CHILDREN AT
PLAY
From
Boston - Performing Friday @ 8:00PM
WHAT
IS SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY?
At Boston University, they showcase their work at the end
of each semester with a non-stop, drop-dead,
break-your-cake sketch comedy show. Slow Kids also hosts
and makes guest appearances at close to a dozen events
throughout the academic year. On top of that, they have
performed at Chicago Sketchfest, Sketchfest NYC, the Best
of the Best Sketchfest in Portland, OR, and the Brandeis
Sketch Comedy Festival.
The Slow Kids have been around since most of the current
cast were 11 years old. While many sketch groups are born
from University theater departments, this troupe has the
distinction of being the only sketch group on the
Sketchfest circuit that still has to keep up their GPAs.
Their appearance at the Chicago Sketchfest in January of
2006 was the first time the troupe had appeared outside of
their campus. They were invited to The Best Of The Best
Sketch Fest on the spot. They're just that kick-ass. Then
they came here last year and packed the place...sold out
baby.
And one of them (the one on the right with the face) is
from Portland. So come out and support the return of the
prodigal son. His name is Brenda. The rest of them have
ridiculous nicknames like Scooter and Flash. But that's
just part of what makes them so damn adorable.
