When Eddie was four years old his grandmother gave him a bunny for Easter. Eddie accidentally poked one of the bunny's eyes out.

Happy childhoods lend themselves to happy adulthoods.

Happy childhoods lend themselves to happy adulthoods. After graduating from high school, as any normal nineteen year old would do, Eddie chose to follow in his father's footsteps, kind of, and enlisted in the Louisiana Army National Guard. After two years of service to the state of Louisiana, Eddie defected to the Texas National guard where he completed his military commitment and began to study art at Southwest Texas State University. Were it not for parking violations, Eddie would have received an associate's degree in artistic design. In a way, once again, the parking lot police did Eddie a favor.

In 1995 Eddie was the first mascot for the San Antonio Iguanas, a minor league hockey team. After growing disenchanted with his title "lounge lizard" and consistently being mocked for having to start the wave, he decided not to show up for the playoffs. In a way, Eddie did himself a favor. After more misfit jobs including a stint as a warehouse t-shirt folder, Eddie's last favor was performed by a temporary employment agency when they placed Eddie in a junior accountant position for a meat factory. This turned out to be the biggest favor of all. He then took to the stage in a San Antonio comedy club and has since been returning the many favors again and again. His comedy is brilliantly original, charming, and slightly self-deprecating. He is a force on stage not unlike the big ones he admires: Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and Bob Newhart. In 1995 he won the HBO Stand-Up StandOff Comic Relief VII competition, and in 1997 he won the US Comedy Arts Festival talent search competition.

Recently, Eddie performed in the Chicago Comedy Festival and in 2001 became the first ever comedian to perform at the Montreal "Just For Laughs" Comedy Festival as both a "New Faces" performer and "Festival Gala" performer. Eddie can be seen nationwide on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend."

Eddie works the clubs like nobody's business and has single-handedly redefined the label- "working comedian." He is ultimately thankful for the many favors he has received thus far in his happy life and is looking forward to repaying them back, one joke after another. [LESS]
