Eric Krug

Yellow Stage Austin, TX
Venue Stage Date Schedule

 


Eric J. Krug is a comedian who got his start telling “jokes” in the city of Austin, Texas. He spent his childhood moving from city to city across the Midwest. Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Kansas. Eric’s upbringing is much like his act: empty and boring. After barely graduating High School, Eric barely attended college, and after combining his hatred of patriotism and extreme fear of flying, he joined the Air Force in 2002 because he’s an idiot. Despite being deployed to a war zone in 2004 Eric somehow managed to do nothing heroic nor manly during his entire four years in military service. His only accomplishment was getting a divorce.

In addition to appearing at the SXSW Festival, the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, Comedy Central’s Live At Gotham, Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast, and getting boo’d off the stage in Wales (true story), Eric has also won the nationally recognized Funniest Person In Austin contest after all the talented comedians in Austin had moved. Which only serves to remind us that patience is a virtue, especially when you suck.
