Eddie Griffin\u2019s stand-up career first kicked off in 1989. It started unassumingly at an open mic night at a comedy club when Eddie Griffin decided to take a chance on something he\u2019d never tried before. He took to the stage thanks to a bet placed by one of his friends and told stories about his family.<\/p>\n

What neither his friends nor him could have predicted is how instantly naturally he took to doing comedy.<\/p>\n

That night, on Eddie Griffin\u2019s first-ever try, without any practice beforehand, the audience gave him a standing ovation, which made him instantly realize that he had a knack and love for something he never expected to have, and he knew that he craved more.<\/p>\n

Eddie Griffin instantly had the entertainment bug so began sweet-talking various comedy clubs all over the place to allow him to perform his stand up there. He got gigs in his local area as well as all the way over in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

One his most popular gags, which would likely have gotten him into hot water today, was his impression of the notoriously tough guy comedian Andrew Dice Clay as a flamboyant gay man. Andrew Dice Clay himself found Eddie Griffin\u2019s routine so funny that he eventually decided to hire him as an opening act.<\/p>\n

Eddie Griffin began to build quite a name for himself, gaining in popularity and eventually taking on the status of a local legend at places such as the comedy club known as The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He would often appear unannounced to do last-minute sets that would almost always do incredibly well.<\/p>\n

He was also accused in that way of sometimes stealing the spotlight from other up and coming comedians who were trying to break into the business, as he was so good at what he did, audiences were usually harder on the people who followed him because they couldn\u2019t live up to his level of comedic talent.<\/p>\n

Eddie Griffin went from stand up to have a very successful film career. In 1993, he acted in The Meteor Man.<\/em> In 1995, he did a film called The Walking Dead<\/em>, not to be confused with the hit zombie television series that debuted 15 years later.<\/p>\n
