Erik Griffin, a first-generation comedian and actor who was born in the United States, is, in his mother's words, "funny," hardworking, ambitious, and brilliant. Erik made the choice to leave his job in 2003 and dive headfirst into comedy as a career. Erik is now a series regular on the Comedy Central show "Workaholics" as a result of this challenge. Erik first attracted attention from the general public by participating in the "Payaso Comedy Slam," which was nominated for an ALMA and broadcast on Comedy Central and Showtime, as well as "Live at Gotham," "Last Comic Driving," "Comics Without Borders," and the nationally televised program "Comics Unleashed;" Several major advertisements, notably the Emmy-winning Bud Light "Swear Jar," use him as a featured actor. He garnered rave reviews in 2008 at the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival. The 2007 East Regional Showcase, the 2006 NACA West Regional Showcase, and the 2008 NACA National Conference all included Erik. Currently, he is performing in colleges and clubs across North America. Most recently, Erik appeared with Lewis Black on the History Channel program "Surviving the Holidays," was a prominent character in the documentary "Just Like Us," which won the Tribeca Film Festival, and will be touring the globe to promote it. Erik appeared as a guest on the popular TNT program "Franklin and Bash." Erik fits right in with North America, especially in this era of increasing cultural variety, thanks to his multicultural background—he has a Central American-Caribbean mother and a father of European descent. All ages and cultural origins are represented in his performance, which is filled of amusing remarks about life, love, and self-evaluation. This makes for an outrageously fun night..
