Eric's journey into comedy began during a family cruise talent show, inspired by an illegal internship at a radio station where he honed his comedic skills. Encouraged by his swim team peers, Eric transitioned from DJing at school events to stand-up comedy. His material often blends Jewish and Mexican cultural elements, reflecting the inherent humor he finds in these intersections. Eric is a firm believer in creating opportunities rather than waiting for them. He initiated comedy shows at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he started his comedy career. This proactive approach continued as he entered the "Funniest Person in the Valley" contest, which opened doors in radio and led to more comedy spots. Performing at the Chocolate Sundays show in LA was a significant career boost, resulting in TV appearances and increased visibility. Touring with a comedian involves close companionship, much like high school friendships, leading to unique bonds. Eric enjoyed traveling to countries like Australia, Dubai, and Canada, and despite the typical challenges of touring, he maintained strong friendships with team members. Currently, Eric is active on social media, posting daily content and directing comedy specials. He voices a character on the animated show "Hell of a Boss," relaunches his podcast, and creates new content with his girlfriend. He emphasizes consistent content creation and natural brand integration. Eric is also gearing up for his first headlining show in Spanish on July 31st, a significant personal goal and tribute to his stepdad. Reflecting on his career, Eric admires the consistent vibe he brings to his work and the challenges of editing his material. He remains determined to innovate in entertainment and make a unique impact, promoting his website and Instagram for more information.
