ABOUT ERIC BREWER
Eric Brewer is a funny guy who also happens to bear a striking resemblance to actor Bradley Cooper. Brewer uses that similarity to his advantage in a charming and self-deprecating way that lets the audience know that looking like a movie star can go from charming to alarming in a hot minute. Brewer has been performing stand up comedy locally for about five years, and is committed to the Akron comedy scene. “I’m happy here, and I really enjoy being in a mentoring position for some of the younger comics. I don’t want to leave Akron for a bigger stage, until the Akron comedy scene is thriving. I want to leave knowing that I built something special in my hometown.”

His work captures the essence of the classics while still maintaining a timelessly fresh and biting quality in his work. A man who will go wherever there’s an audience, Gordon has performed all over the country in many different mediums and incarnations, yet always remaining unmistakably “Willis.”
