Earthquake
After almost 30 years of selling out rooms all over the world, Nathaniel Stroman, AKA Earthquake, has mastered his craft as a beloved comedian, actor, voice artist and radio personality. He’s exceeded his own expectations as he continues to thrive in comedy, as he basks in the success of his critically acclaimed comedy special Chappelle’s Home Team – Earthquake: Legendary for Netflix.
Earthquake made his way into the hearts of his loyal fanbase in the 90’s at the height of TV programming. Shows like BET’s Comic View, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, glimpses of Laffapalooza and Shaq’s All-Star Comedy Jam became fan favorites. Earthquake’s comedy specials made him the stand-out talent of that era. Those specials include, About Got Damm Time, Walter Latham Presents, From the Outhouse to the Whitehouse and These Ain’t Jokes for Showtime. Never leaving a fan disappointed, ‘Quake’ (as he is affectionately known), quickly became a closer on some of the biggest tours.
Earthquake has been featured on primetime TV as well. His recurring character was as the beloved ‘Uncle Mike’ from the hit sitcom, ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. He then enjoyed a string of special appearances like Bounce Network’s, ‘In the Cut’, ‘Rel’ for Fox Television, and HBO Max’s ‘South Side’. Quake is enjoying recurring roles on CBS’ ‘The Neighborhood’ starring Cedric the Entertainer and preparing for the third season of the breakout hit series, ‘Johnson’ for the Bounce network which had garnered over five-million views per episode in its first season. Earthquake can also be spotted on HBO Max series, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.
Film credits include animated favorite ‘Barnyard’, ‘Something Like a Business’ with Kevin Hart, ‘Getting Played’ with Vivica Fox, Ice Cube’s ‘The Longshots’ and Kevin Smiths ‘Clerks II’ with a recent appearance in Mario Van Peebles indie-project, ‘Armed’, and the new film ‘Bed-Ridden’.
If all of this were not enough, Earthquake hails as the host the popular radio show Quake’s House for Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud Network on Sirius XM Channel 96. Celebrating its 5th season, Quake’s House airs Mon-Thu and is the quintessential house of funny. The chat ranges from current events to the man-women complexities of romantic life and people tune in to hear Quake’s off-the-cuff banter and celebrity drop-ins.
Presently, Earthquake is filming various projects and prepping for his new comedy special. The D.C native resides in Los Angeles and continues to sell out rooms on the comedy circuit, on nationwide tours and remains a favorite among top tier stand-up comedy talent. As he enjoys arguably the biggest year of his career, Quake will continue to make TV appearances giving his fans glimpses of his work on popular programming.
