Fans of the hit Comedy Central series “Workaholics” instantly recognize Erik Griffin as the show’s iconic series regular Montez. Most recently, his debut comedy album, Technical Foul: Volume One, was released and his Comedy Central Presents Half-Hour Stand-Up Special premiered this year. He also tours the country headlining popular comedy clubs and colleges every weekend.

With his multicultural background, a Central American-Caribbean mother, a father of European decent, Erik blends well into the North American landscape particularly in this era of cultural diversity. With his routine full of hilarious observations about life, love and selfevaluation, he brings together all ages and ethnic backgrounds, which makes for an uproariously good time.
