In November of 1979 and a friend walked into the Original Improvisation Comedy Club in New York City to audition for a regular spot at the club. Eddie got a chance to show the owner what he could do and despite his lack of experience, he thrilled everyone in the club that night…. Everyone except the owner.

The club’s policy was that if the owner liked you she would talk to you. If she didn’t, the performer was to just walk by her without saying a word. As Eddie left the stage the owner looked away. Eddie walked outside with his friend and then suddenly turned around walked back into the club and whispered in the startled owner’s ear, “Thanks for the opportunity to show the “PEOPLE” what I can do.” He has lived by that motto ever since. Eddie then left the club and never looked back. The New York Improv closed a few years later but Eddie is still going strong.

Old enough to remember the sixties yet young enough to enjoy the new millennium, Eddie Clark is still one of the hardest working comics on the circuit today. His quick wit and funny stories, combined with his masterful characters, are a hit with audiences all over. This former Carson Long Military Institute graduate, U.S. Marine, Mount Vernon N.Y. police officer and Security officer for the U.S. State Dept. was born in Jamaica… QUEENS, NY and raised in the city of Mount Vernon, NY, where he developed his ability to induce laughter from total strangers. Eddie’s humor is a blend of personal experiences and everyday life. Whether talking about N.A.S.C.A.R.’s first “BLACK” superstar, moving from the projects to a middle class neighborhood, setting up a speed trap, acid reflux or why you can’t win a argument with a woman. Eddie brings his vast experiences to all his performances.

Eddie celebrated his first 23 years as a Stand-up comedian with the release of his 1st comedy cd, One Take , which was released on May 1, 2002. Eddie has since followed up with his first DVD, “There’s Mustard On This Hotdog!” which was released in “2005″ Eddie’s stand up has made him a favorite on morning radio shows around the country and has opened opportunities in the film industry as well.
