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. One night, his cousin dared him to go on stage at the local comedy club. 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. As an actor, he played the pastor opposite Dave Chappelle, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in 2018?s Academy Award®-winning feature film A Star is Born. His comedy special Eddie Griffin: Undeniable debuted on Showtime in February 2018 to rave reviews. Everyone, regardless of age, must have a ticket for admission.
