About Erik Griffin
Erik Griffin (born March 12, 1972) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, podcaster and actor. He was born in Los Angeles, California, and was raised by his mother, an immigrant from Belize; he never met his father. He started doing stand-up in 2003, having previously worked at a school coaching basketball and handling office work. From 2011 to 2017 he portrayed Montez Walker on Comedy Central's Workaholics, and he also had roles in I'm Dying Up Here and Blunt Talk, as well as the films Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) and Murder Mystery (2019).
Griffin recorded a half-hour special for Comedy Central on February 28, 2013, and later that year released his first stand-up album, Technical Foul: Volume One, on March 12, 2013. In 2015 he was cast as Ralph Carnegie in the television series I'm Dying Up Here. His special Erik Griffin: The Ugly Truth premiered on July 7, 2017, on Showtime, and his next special, Amerikan Warrior, also premiered on Showtime, in June 2018.
Beginning in 2022, Brendan Schaub and Theo Von added Chris D'Elia to their weekly podcast King and the Sting, renaming it King and the Sting and Wing, and during this time Griffin became a regular guest-host. On November 4, 2022, the show was officially renamed The Golden Hour, with Griffin replacing Theo Von. He also hosts his own podcast, Riffin' With Griffin.
