ERIK MACKENROTH

 
Erik Mackenroth

Erik Mackenroth has achieved many accomplishments as a comedian.  He was a finalist in Orange County’s Funniest Person contest in 2002 and 2006.  Mackenroth also appeared on “The Extreme Gong Show” as a Flamingo Dancer who shoved live cockroaches down his pants.  Other television appearances include, “Clubhouse” on CBS and the ABC Family show, “Switched”. 

Mackenroth also appeared in the movie “Cloud Nine” with Burt Reynolds and National Lampoons Dirty Jokes the movie as a drunk.  He has also worked in commercials with Disney and Savin Photocopiers.  Mackenroth has had the opportunity to open for big name comedians such as Vic Dunlop, Dat Phan, Bill Kirchenbauer, Jimmie Walker, Todd Glass, and Joey Medina from the Latino Kings of Comedy, just to name a few. You can listen to Erik every Tuesday morning on his radio show, “The Downtown Lounge” on LA Talk Radio.

Personally, Mackenroth believes that comedy is comedy, meaning there should be no boundaries; as the point is to make people laugh.  He thinks that people should come to a show with an open mind and be ready to hear and see anything.  Comedy is sometimes subjective, but comedians are there for the love of the art of making people laugh.  Mackenroth loves what he does and aspires to do much more.

Former L.A.D.A. GIL GARCETTI brings a very important issue to our attention. The need to bring water to the desert regions of West Africa where families don't have it. The first half of this show is dedicated to this very special cause and the positive effects that putting a water well in an impoverished village can bring. (Visit: wellsbringhope.com) The second half of the show takes a look at more of the artistic side of Mr. Garcetti with more of his photography and his effort to capture not just villages in West Africa but the construction of the Disney Concert Hall and his work with the Iron Workers Union and his charity efforts. Very interesting/entertaining show.
