Erik Adams is driven by the modest desire to be the world's greatest rock
critic. If that doesn't work out, he'll settle for being a famous
improviser. Love brought Erik to Texas, but it was a failed audition for a
campus sketch show that brought him to improv. After four years of
performing short-form with Michigan State University's Your Mom Improv
(they're quite aware it's an awful name, thanks), Erik is now stretching his
narrative muscles in Skipfield (Your Mom did make the occasional foray into
long-form, like their improvised adaptation of Garrison Keillor's "Prairie
Home Companion", but those were usually, uh … disastrous).
Erik is a huge fan of pizza, Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland 1945", Abraham
Lincoln, good typography, bad beer and bears. He counts Chuck Klosterman,
J.D. Salinger, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Stephen Malkmus, Elliott Smith, Bill
Murray, Tina Fey, Monty Python, Steve Martin, the minds behind "Mystery
Science Theater 3000", Tiffany Weber and Shawn Adams among his greatest
influences. He was born in 1985, and is currently unsure if that makes him
too old or too young.
