Adam DeVine is scheduled to come to campus in February. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.
The show will be 8 p.m. Feb. 25, 2015.
Geoff Ferguson, the 2015 director of the performance and entertainment committee at Union Board, said in an email the event will focus on stand-up comedy.
“Students in attendance should expect a stand-up comedy show that displays Adam DeVine’s unique and hilarious style of humor, exemplified by his performances in ‘Workaholics,’ ‘Pitch Perfect,’ ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Adam DeVine’s House Party,’” he said.
DeVine was made famous as the co-creator, writer and leading actor of the Comedy Central show “Workaholics.”
He was also involved in “Pitch Perfect,” where he played “Bumper Allen,” leader of the all-male campus singing champions.
While filming the movie, he worked with Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson.
He has just wrapped up production in “Pitch Perfect 2,” to be released May 15, 2015.
People will also be able to see DeVine in Nancy Meyers’ “The Intern” opposite of Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro.
He is also featured in “Final Girls” opposite of Nina Dobrev and Thomas Middleditch, according to the release.
Brett Bassock, the current director of live entertainment at Union Board, said the show “fit” campus because of the nature of the DeVine’s performance.
Not only is the comedian close to the age of the average student, but Bassock said DeVine is relatable to the student population.
