A failed mathematician who discovered that stand-up comedy is much easier, Erik Krasner has the honor of having once been told “dude, you’re pretty sad” by a practicing psychiatrist. His dry, self-deprecating humor has been described as “charming but snarky,” “actually pretty funny,” and “awkward and weird.”

He writes sketch-comedy videos for Slobs Productions, co-produces the monthly Vice Principals of Comedy showcase at Lost Weekend Video, and can be seen performing in places as far-flung and exotic as Livermore, California; Gilroy, California; and Tracy, California.
