As a child, Eddie Ifft had dreams of becoming a Navy SEAL. Instead, Eddie has amassed a 28 year career as a stand-up comedian, podcaster, host and actor. His comedic talent has garnered praise across almost every continent. As an audience and critic favorite, he consistently sells out shows and typically receives widespread acclaim.


 


Eddie first emerged on the international stage at the renowned “New Faces” segment of Montreal’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. This appearance led to an audition for Saturday Night Live (SNL) and a performance at the prestigious Mark Twain Awards in Washington DC.


 


Well known to audiences from his TV comedy specials including, Live From Australia, filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Sydney Opera House. Recent TV specials include, Sweet Home Malibama(2020) and Man Child (2023) have accrued millions of views and reached the coveted ‘top spot’ on Amazon Prime. In addition to his stand-up career, Eddie co-hosted Talkin’ Sh*t, a podcast that consistently broke into the Top 10 in the comedy podcast charts. 


 


Eddie has appeared at some of the world’s most renowned comedy festivals: Montreal Just for Laughs, Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Cape Town International Comedy Festival, and the Dubai Comedy Festival, solidifying his global appeal and recognition.


 


U.S. television audiences will recognize Eddie from appearances on Showtime’s The Green Room with Paul Provenza, Tommy Chong 420 Show, Chelsea Lately, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and his half-hour special on Comedy Central. He has appeared in over 40 commercials, hosted Shark Week, and guest starred in FX’s scripted comedy Legit.

With his unmatched versatility, wit, and podcasting prowess, Eddie has captured the hearts of audiences, solidifying his place as a desired figure in the comedy world and in the podcasting sphere.
