Erik Mackenroth |
|
|
Erik Mackenroth was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and moved with his family to Manteca, California in 1977. As Mackenroth grew up, he formed a love for comedy. In elementary and high school, he entered talent shows where he imitated popular comedians of the day such as, Rodney Dangerfield.
Erik is currently Headlining and Featuring all over comedy clubs in California. Occasionally, he tours clubs across the United States.
Critics of Mackenroth’s comedy compare him to his childhood mentor, Don Rickles. They say that his style is extremely versatile and spontaneous. The audience is always surprised and never expects what will come next. One moment, Mackenroth could be poking fun at the audience, the next making fun of himself, or discussing something in life that is bothering him.
Mackenroth is also known for his strong character work as well. Some of the personalities he is known for are, Stephen Zachary Solov the hockey player, and Fred the Iranian Boy Scout leader. A must see is Mackenroth’s celebrity golf tournament; these impressions include Sean Connery, Gilbert Godfry, Ozzy Ozbourne, Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Carry, Bill Cosby, Dr. Phil, and Robert Shaw. You can also find him at some shows as Tony Clifton where he is singing and yelling in character.
Mackenroth has achieved many accomplishments as a comedian. He was a finalist in Orange County’s Funniest Person contest in 2002 and 2006.
