EDDiE iFFT is a national headlining stand-up comedian with an international touring footprint who blends high-performance living, fatherhood, and life on the road into sharp, fearless comedy. What started as a childhood dream of becoming a Navy SEAL has turned into a 29-year career built on chasing real experience, discomfort, and truth, whether that is on stage, in the ocean, on a mountain, or in the middle of family life.
EDDiE’s comedy is driven by lived experience. He trains like an athlete, tours coast to coast, raises two kids, and turns the collision of ambition, balance, and modern life into storytelling that connects across generations. His work lives at the intersection of performance and humanity, funny, physical, honest, and unfiltered.
His career gained early momentum after breaking out at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, leading to an SNL audition and a performance at the Mark Twain Awards in Washington, D.C. Since then, he has built a global audience through stand-up, television, and podcasting, earning a reputation as a comedian who does not just talk about life, but actively lives it.
A defining part of EDDiE’s brand is Stand-Up and Send It, a live and digital series where he teaches professional and elite action sports athletes how to perform stand-up comedy, while they push him into their world of high-risk sports such as surfing, skiing, mountain biking, and endurance challenges. The project has been performed live at major outdoor and action sports events, including the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado, and continues to expand as a crossover between comedy, performance, and adventure culture. At the core of every project is a stand-up act built on sharp, story-driven, high-density comedy.
EDDiE is also known for consistently selling out shows in ski towns, surf destinations, and resort markets across the United States, where his blend of athletic lifestyle, travel stories, and family-driven comedy resonates strongly with outdoor and performance-minded audiences.
EDDiE’s stand-up specials have reached audiences around the world. His breakout special,
Live From Australia, was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Sydney Opera House.
His more recent releases, Sweet Home Malibama (2020) and Man Child (2023),
earned millions of views and reached the number one spot on Amazon Prime, cementing his
status as a global touring headliner.
EDDiE co-created and co-hosted Talkin’ Sht*, a long-running comedy podcast that
consistently ranked in the Top 10 comedy charts and helped define an early era of
comedian-driven podcasting. Today, he continues to build the ShrEDDiE platform, blending
long-form conversations, touring stories, and performance-driven content across YouTube,
social media, and live audiences. His digital platform reaches a global audience across
YouTube, podcasting, and social media, extending his live performances far beyond the stage.
Stand-Up and Send It is EDDiE’s signature crossover series that pairs comedy with
action sports culture. Each episode or live performance flips the traditional format by
putting athletes on stage to learn stand-up comedy while EDDiE steps into their world of
risk and performance. The project has been featured at high-profile outdoor and sports
events and has become a cornerstone of his identity as a performer who lives the lifestyle
he jokes about.
EDDiE has performed at many of the world’s most respected comedy festivals, including:
His touring footprint spans the United States, Australia, Europe, and beyond, with
consistent sell-out shows in clubs, theaters, ski resorts, and surf destinations.
In addition to clubs, theaters, and festivals, EDDiE is a sought-after performer for
corporate and private events, delivering customized, high-energy stand-up for global
brands, conferences, and leadership teams. His work has included performances for
organizations such as BlackRock, Budweiser, GoPro, The Cheesecake Factory, Howard Hanna
