Published: Oct. 1, 2020, 4 a.m.

b'Comedian Erik Rivera isn\\u2019t on \\u201cthe drugs\\u201d - despite what his mom thought. He just liked hitting the comedy clubs as a kid, and giving people - no matter where they\\u2019re from - something to relate to. We got into a pretty serious (but often funny) chat about being brown in a white world, and being American - while still in the mix of different cultures and countries (his mom\\u2019s from Guatemala, his dad from Puerto Rico, and married white).\\nErik\\u2019s making his mark, making us laugh, and making us think. His HBO stand-up special \\u201cSuper White!\\u201d covers the hilarious truths of parenting and being married in a mixed relationship. Erik\\u2019s comedic take on his unique experience has been featured on HBO\\u2019s\\xa0\\u201cEntre Nos,\\u201d NBC\\u2019s \\u201cLast Comic Standing\\u201d, the Tonight Show, and the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. AND he\\u2019s even teamed up with Eva Longoria and Kevin Hart to create meaningful (and hilarious) projects to drive representation forward. AND Erik\\u2019s created and written an upcoming animated show for Amazon - \\u201cRicky & Cricket\\u201d. AND then there was that one time he was on CBS \\u201cSuperior Donuts\\u201d - in the most talked about episode tackling immigration in the US.\\n\\xa0\\nLEARN ABOUT ERIK\\n\\nErikRivera.com\\n\\n@ErikRiveraComedy (IG + FB)\\n\\n\\u201cI\\u2019m No Expert\\u201d (1-hr comedy special): https://youtu.be/AVVY2uG7FXo\\n\\n\\xa0\\nMENTIONS\\n\\nFILM: Mambo Mouth (1991) imdb.com/title/tt0247497\\n\\n\\nFILM: Coco (2017) imdb.com/title/tt2380307\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
