Eric Hunter has been performing comedy since the age of 6, when he got his very first laugh at a family picnic. His grandmother scolded him for not eating all of his dinner. “You know there are starving children in third world countries who would love to eat that,” she said. “Well, here, send it to them,” came his reply and upon hearing his cousins’ laughter, he knew comedy was the life for him!
Eric now performs non-stop around the country leaving his mark as a clean, funny, bright, friendly and original performer. He jokes sarcastically about various topics, including his friends and family, education, sports and relationships. He’s best known for his hilarious, deadpan attempt to impress the women in the audience.
In cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Prestonburg, KY (and everywhere in between), Eric has performed with a wide range of comedians, including Louie Anderson at the Comedy Store in L.A., Brian Regan, Ray Romano, Tom Papa, Jake Johannsen, Blake Clark, Kevin Nealon, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Kevin Pollak, Frank Caliendo, Larry Miller, Nick DiPaolo, Wendy Liebman, John Witherspoon, Todd Glass, Dom Irerra, Pam Stone, John Pinette, Dave Coulier, The Amazing Johnathan, Adam Ferarra, Pablo Francisco, Robert Wuhl, Jim Brogan, Bob Zany, Etta May, Tim Wilson, Heath Hyche, Jimmy Walker, John Roy, Michael Winslow, Michael Roof and Dennis Regan. (When he was a kid, he got autographs from Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld.)
In October, 2006, LA Weekly listed Eric in its “Some Of The Funniest Comedians In America” section. You can see Eric perform on the Comedy Time Network. He has made numerous appearances on the nationally syndicated “Bob and Tom” radio show and on their WGN television show.
