Generation is a group based out of Gainesville, Florida which is dedicated to performing sketch comedy. The group was established in Spring of 2006 by Richard Gonzalez, a student at the University of Florida and a member of the largest collegiate improv troupe in the nation, Theatre Strike Force. Richard decided to put on a sketch comedy show after seeing a sketch show put up by Mr. Josh Bright. The first Generation sketch show, O America Where Art Thou, was a total success packing the house two nights in a row. The second, Hard Knock Life, did exactly the same to equal success. The third, Then, Now and Soon, was the first free show on campus and established 282 as the room to be for sketch comedy. The helm was given to Chris Mullet for the fourth show, Bears, and it was, arguably, the best sketch show UF has ever seen. Generation's fifth show, The Best Policy, played to over-capacity crowds both nights and kept the train chugging. The sixth show, "Crime and Punishment," was another stellar show that added to the quiet legacy Generation has begun to create. The seventh show, "School Days" marked Mullet's final show with the group as he passed the torch to cast member Scott Arel. Arel's first show, "Underground" was another rousing success that was a fine addition to the Generation show library. Chris Mullet has come back for yet another stint as director, while Generation strives to be one-up themselves for each show.

Generation also created a subsidiary group called Evolution which serves as a training ground for those who are first venturing into sketch comedy. While writing and performing in their own sketches, Evolution puts on 2 shows a year and have been finding a fan base all their own.
