Earthquake Shares Lessons He’s Learned From Fellow Comedians [Video]

Last week, Earthquake got his first Netflix special as part of Dave Chappelle’s new Chappelle’s Home Team specials. And to promote the special, Earthquake sat down with Netflix to pass on what he learned from the masters.

In the clip posted to their YouTube channel, he talks about not being into comedy growing up, Steve Harvey showing him how to put jokes together, Eddie Murphy’s advice on when a “fan blows,” being told he wouldn’t make it, and what determines your success.

Washington DC’s own comedian, actor and voice-artist, Earthquake earned a strong fan-base in stand-up comedy via programming platforms fueled by BET, HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and more. Born Nathaniel Stroman, ‘Quake’ (as he’s known by fans), entered America’s households on the classic run of BET’s Comic View and HBO’s comedic rites of passage program, Def Comedy Jam. Pointedly, Earthquake wowed audiences with one of his most memorable performances for HBO’s coveted 30-minute comedy special series, One Night Stand.

While becoming one of the hottest properties of the standup comedy circuit, Earthquake filmed a string of comedy specials. The specials include, About Got Damm Time, Walter Latham Presents, From the Outhouse to the Whitehouse and more recently These Ain’t Jokes which premiered on the Showtime Network. Quake’s fans also enjoy an extensive cluster of comedy content collector’s DVD’s as well such as Shaq’s AllStar Comedy Jam DVD Collections.

From ‘Uncle Mike’ from Everybody Hates Chris to ‘Que’, the barbershop owner from CBS’ hit sitcom The Neighborhood, Comedian Earthquake recurs, guest stars and appears cameo style on prime time and popular television programming.
