comedy clubs and colleges every weekend. His debut comedy album, Technical Foul: 

Volume One, will be released this March. His Comedy Central Presents Half-Hour 

Stand-Up Special will premiere this year. Erik is a first generation American-born 

comedian/actor who made the decision in 2003 to quit his job and plunge headlong into 

making comedy his full-time occupation.

Slam” seen on Showtime and Comedy Central networks, “Live at Gotham” on Comedy 

Central, “Last Comic Driving” on NBC, “Comics Without Borders” on Showtime, nationally

Festival Documentary “Just Like Us,” and will be touring the world promoting the movie. 

Erik was also a guest star on the hit TNT show “Franklin & Bash.”

With his multicultural background, a Central American-Caribbean mother, a father of 

European decent, Erik blends well into the North American landscape particularly in this 

era of cultural diversity. With his routine full of hilarious observations about life, love and 

selfevaluation, he brings together all ages and ethnic backgrounds, which makes for an 

uproariously good time.
