Introduction: For nearly thirty five years, Eric has been delighting audiences with his creative and hilarious performance of comedy and award winning magic and illusion.
Eric is an accomplished comedian and magician, a veteran of hundreds of venues including comedy clubs, theaters and college campuses, as well as numerous television appearances. Eric has headlined comedy clubs and theaters performing to crowds around the world. He has shared the stage with comedy legends Jay Leno, Sinbad, Paula Poundstone, Dick Gregory, Andrew “Dice” Clay and many, many others. He has been the opening act for many musical artists including Kenny Loggins, Engelbert Humperdinck, Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul & Mary), jazz stars Peter White, Walter Beasley among others.
His performing has opened the door for his travels throughout Latin America including Mexico and Guatemala, a couple of countries in Europe, a dozen different island nations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and nine different cities in two weeks as he traveled and performed in the nation of Cuba. Most recently Eric spent nearly two weeks in the West African nation of Burkina Faso where he visited and entertained the poorest of the indigenous residents in nearly a dozen small, primitive villages. In the spring of 2017, Eric spent nearly two weeks performing more than a dozen shows in Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu, Peru, in South America. In 2018 Eric performed more than two dozen shows across the southern region of China and Hong Kong.

To deliver joy and laughter to an audience of any size is a great gift. I have performed for crowds of more than 3000 people to as few as one or two at a small table. Audiences of every age group and from every facet of life enjoy The Magic & Comedy of Eric Thompson.
