ERICH McELROY

A bit about Erich

 

Erich is a stand-up comedian and writer. Originally from Seattle, he moved to the UK in 2000 and in 2007 collected his British passport.

​

Erich was going to be doing his ninth Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year, but like everyone he's been at home zooming and crying. ​

​

In addition to six full solo-shows Erich performs for all the major comedy clubs in his adopted home.

​

In addition to playing playing UK venues up and down the country, Erich has appeared on BBC Breakfast, Newsnight, Sky News and Five News. He has been heard talking comedy and politics on BBC 5 Live, BBC Surrey, BBC Berkshire and regularly on TalkRadio. He has also written for the Independent, Huffington Post, The Herald in Scotland and even Saga.

 

He lives in London with his wife and two children that he is quite fond of.
