Presented by: Eric

Eric’s route to the stage began by accident, one fateful night in London he was combining his favourite hobbies, watching comedy and drinking beer, when he suddenly found himself transformed from punter to performer!
After some banter with legendary MC Malcolm Hardee, Malcolm suddenly announced that the next act hadn’t turned up…“So” he said, pointing to Eric “You have to get up and do it.”
And so with no material at all, Eric found himself on the wrong side of the mic with nothing but charm to see him through.
That unplanned performance resulted in a comedy career that has taken the affable Londoner all over the world.
Before that, Eric served on Royal Navy Submarines. He now shares his experiences, stories of the ups and downs (Sorry) of life underwater, making him truly unique.
