ABOUT
EDDIE GRIFFIN
A
popular comedian turned actor who started his career on-stage
as a dare, funnyman Eddie Griffin
has built an ever-growing fan base since jumping onto the comedy
scene in 1990.
Born in
Kansas City, Missouri, Eddie was voted class clown three years
in a row in high school. His first love was always dance and by
the young age of 16, he opened his own dance studio and was choreographing
the Kansas City Chiefs half-time shows. But all of that would
soon change when one night his cousin dared him to go on stage
at the local comedy club Sanford and Sons where he was told to
do 3 minutes. He performed off-the-cuff for 45 minutes successfully.
It was then that Griffin purchased a one-way ticket to Los Angeles
to pursue his dream of becoming a stand up.
In only
one short month, he was a regular at the renowned Comedy Store,
where he was compared with esteemed talents such as Richard Pryor,
Redd Foxx, and Lenny Bruce. After only 2 short months, Griffin
was chosen to open for Andrew Dice Clay at Madison Square Garden
that kicked off a 22-city tour.
These
many successful performances led to Eddie Griffin’s appearance
on Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam“1992”,
the Cable Ace Award-nominated HBO special One
Night Stand “1992”, HBO Comedy Half
Hour Special “1995”, the HBO special Voodoo
Child “1997” and onstage at the legendary

comedy albums Message In The Hat “1993”
and The Message “1999” featuring
comedic and musical performances by him as well as Master P, Sikk
the Shocker, and Fiend.

series Malcolm and Eddie “1996-2000”,
for which role he was nominated (1996) and won (2000) the NAACP
Image Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.

mentor and Richard Pryor.
After,

alongside Orlando Jones. Griffin then starred alongside Denzel
