Stand-up spotlight: Erik Anker

If this guy looks familiar to you, that’s because this is probably his yearbook picture.

Meet ERIK ANKER

Erik Anker (born as: Jostophasen Christmas) started doing standup in blah blah blah. (Ahem) Blah blah blah blah blah. He recently won the blah blah blah award and currently sits as Thunderchief of the blah blah blah. #thunderchief

How long have you been a stand-up comic?

381 shows.

What other comics will you be watching during the festival?

Pretty much anyone from Denver and anyone not from Denver that anyone from Denver recommends. The FGC are all amazing and funny in my favorite ways, like four seperate layers of a hilarity cake.

If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be?

Record everything. Maybe I should start taking that advice.

If your future self ten years from now could give you advice, what would it be?

Have the abortion.

Scientology inspired questions. Feel free to go into detail if you need to. Here we go…

a) Do you lie about yourself? No, unless I’m talking to the cops.
b) Do you connect yourself with bad influences? No. I have lots of different kinds of friends, but they’re all happy people.
c) Should you be punished forever? Sure, whatever.
d) Have you ever invented perverted sexual practices? Just my patented sex move, “The Google.”
e) Is there a past life that you can’t talk about? I did spend a time raping and pillaging all along the Scandanavian coast, searching continuously for the perfect “blood rage,” but that was a different time, and I’m a different person now.
