Welcome back to Season 3! We’re starting off this season with Laughs because, in times of change, trauma, and chaos laugher can be healing. We’re talking with Comedian Erik Rivera, his journey as a first-generation Guatemalan- American growing up in suburban New York, and how he found himself going into comedy as a career - and spoiler alert his mom was not so happy.
Erik Rivera just had his Comedy Special “Super White” on HBO where we use comedy to share his story growing up and being a parent. You can follow him on Instagram @ErikRiveraComedy and find his upcoming shows on erikrivera.com
We are super excited to bring season 3 and have more to come as we build Basic Brown NErds
