Earthquake

After almost 30 years of selling out rooms all over the country and now the world, Earthquake, born Nathaniel Stroman, has mastered his crafts as a beloved comedian, actor, voice artist and radio personality. He’s exceeded his own expectations as he continues to thrive in the comedy arena, as he still basks in the success of his 2022 critically acclaimed comedy special "Chappelle’s Home Team – Earthquake: Legendary" for Netflix, lauded by the New York Times as the funniest comedy special of that year.

Earthquake made his way into the households and hearts of his loyal fanbase in the 90’s at the height of television programming for the urban comedian. 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 DVD collection of comedy specials made him the stand-out comedic 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."

As a result, his presence on the comedy circuit added a relatable and celebrated point of view that resonated with thousands of fans, and he found his sweet spot-on numerous tours and club dates. Never leaving a fan disappointed, ‘Quake’ (as he is affectionately known), quickly became a closer or multi-headliner fixture on some of the biggest tours in the country.

In addition to the television talk show circuit and digital platforms, Earthquake has been featured on primetime television as well. Notably, his first real look as a recurring character was as the beloved Uncle Mike from the hit sitcom, "Everybody Hates Chris." He then enjoyed a string of special appearances and more recurring roles including Bounce Network’s "In the Cut," "Rel" for Fox Television, and HBO Max’s "South Side." More recently, Quake enjoyed recurring roles on CBS’ "The Neighborhood" starring Cedric the Entertainer and the breakout hit series "Johnson" for the Bounce network. Additionally, Earthquake can be spotted on the HBO Max series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty."

Earthquake's film credits include: animated favorite "Barnyard"; "Something Like a Business" with Kevin Hart; "Getting Played" with Vivica Fox; Ice Cube’s "The Longshots"; the Kevin Smith cult classic "Clerks II"; an appearance in Mario Van Peebles' indie-project "Armed"; and the film "Bed-Ridden," for which he nabbed the leading role.

As an extension of his film work, Quake has provided voicing for the "Barnyard’" film made-for- television program "Back at the Barnyard" for Nickelodeon and voicing for global brands Nike and Beats by Dre respectively.

Earthquake is the host of his uber popular radio show "Quake’s House" for Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud Network, which is housed on Sirius XM Channel 96.
