Erik and Annie met in a stand-up comedy class in 2023 and immediately bonded over their love of live comedy. The instructor was so annoyed he forced them to sit away from each other so they would not talk through the entire class.
Erik Thornquist is a girldad, a regular guy who loves saying ridiculous things in front of strangers. He’s performed around the world, ran YallaLaughs in the UAE, and co-founded EA Comedy in San Diego. What matters most? He’s funny.
Annie loves to laugh, and to make others laugh is truly her greatest joy in life. Annie was born in upstate NY and now lives in San Diego with her husband and their two dogs. As a lifetime fan of Comedy, she took the plunge to start stand-up in 2023 and fell in love with making a room full of strangers laugh.
