  • Bio

    ERIC HUNTER has been performing comedy since he was 6, when he got his first laugh at a family picnic. His grandmother scolded him for not eating all of his dinner. "There are starving children in 3rd 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 many topics, including his friends and Irish Catholic family, education, sports and relationships. He’s best known for his hilarious, deadpan attempt to impress the women in the audience. In ’08, he appeared on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and was a semifinalist at the Boston Comedy Festival. In cities like NY, Miami, LA, 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, Jake Johannsen, Blake Clark, Kevin Nealon, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Kevin Pollak, Frank Caliendo, Nick DiPaolo, Wendy Liebman, John Witherspoon, Todd Glass, John Pinette, Dave Coulier, Adam Ferarra, Pablo Francisco, Robert Wuhl, Jim Brogan, Dom Irrera, Bob Zany, Etta May, Heath Hyche and Jimmy Walker. (When he was a kid, he got autographs from Leno and Seinfeld.) In Oct., 2006, LA Weekly listed Eric in its “Some Of The Funniest Comedians In America” section. You can see him perform on the Comedy Time Network. He has made 9 appearances on the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show and on their WGN TV show. Eric has performed in a wide range of venues, such as comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships, country clubs, casinos and does such a clean act, he has even performed in a church. In fact, he’ll perform anywhere that begins with a c; plus, resorts, hotels, bars, restaurants and schools. One of Eric’s favorite moments was opening for Tom Ryan and Brian Regan in ’07 at the N. Charleston, SC Performing Arts Center. He headlined the 2007 "Stand Up Showdown" at the Piccolo Spoleto Arts Festival in Charleston, SC, and had audiences laughing at the 2009 Detroit Comedy Festival, the 2004 New York Underground Comedy Festival and The 2008 Charleston Comedy Festival. Eric also won Atlanta, Georgias Late Night Laff-Off comedy competition when he appeared on the WB network affiliate-WATL Ch. 36. He won a trip to New York and a performance at the Comedy Cellar. He placed 3rd at the Carnival Comedy Challenge, a nationwide comic talent search for Carnival Cruise Lines, at the Miami Improv on 9/19/07. Eric also does some acting and works at Georgia Public Broadcasting as a sports reporter. He graduated with a BA degree in Communications and Theatre from the University of Notre Dame.
