Eric Blake has taken this challenge to heart, expanding his material beyond the African-American lens, and identifying with many other cultures and experiences. He is one of the few performers who can truly be labeled as a “universal comedian,” defying comedic normality. Blake’s raw talent is also distinguished by his ability to custom-fit his comedy for the particular moment. This witty improvisation can be revealed at the drop of a hat, bringing new characters to life that flow directly from the unconscious, capturing the imagination of his audiences. This engaging comic has proven his worth night after night, performing to diversified audiences from coast to coast. Some of his performances include BET’s Comic View, in which he has aired on “The Best of Comic View” for the fourth consecutive year. He has also been televised on Galavision’s Que Loco, where he has displayed his cross-cultural abilities that have earned him a devote Latino following. Furthermore, Blake performed as the headliner for the comedy hit entitled War On Comedy, which aired on HBO and has recently been released on video. Eric’s acclaimed notoriety led HBO to choose him among thousands to film a documentary on the eight most up and coming comedians in the country, which is scheduled to air in the fall of 2006. In addition, he has appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and is a regular at The Improv in Hollywood.
