Early life [ edit ]

Nathaniel “Earthquake” Stroman was born on May 29, 1963, in Washington, D.C.[citation needed] His mother gave him the nickname “Earthquake”.[1] She said: “Any time you take all the precautions not to have a kid, from the diaphragm to .... a condom, and you still have a child, there's nothing else you can name that child but a natural disaster."[1] Earthquake grew up poor with his mother's sister and her husband in a tough southeast neighborhood, and they often didn't have anything to eat.[citation needed] Earthquake was a class clown, but had no real idea that he could make comedy a career. He later bemoaned the fact that no teacher or advisor had ever pointed him in the direction of performing.[citation needed] He enlisted in the United States Air Force after he graduated from high school.[citation needed] Later he explained that he joined the military to get out of his mother's house.[2]

Military career [ edit ]

Nathaniel Stroman joined the Air Force in an attempt to remove himself from the negative impacts of the community around him and to further his education.[citation needed] Dodging the many traps of crime and drugs, Nathaniel Stroman enlisted in the Air Force the very next day after his high school graduation. As stated by Nathaniel Stroman to Matt Ehlers of the Raleigh News and Observer “My mother argued with me, hollered at me, and I wasn't getting a check, so how hard could basic training be?”.[1] Stroman would go on to have an eleven-year career with the Air Force spending time on bases located in places like Florida, California, and the Japanese Island of Okinawa. Stroman rose through the ranks all the way to Sergeant in the Air Force. He was honorably discharged and subsequently attended to his thriving comedy career. It was never an actual plan for him to be a stand-up, ‘It was the best decision he made that day’, a quote from Earthquake when asked who inspired his career. Ultimately, Stroman was disheartened by the possibility of the Gulf War of 1991, and he considered it unnecessary. “I didn’t want to go over there and fight for oil” he told Richmond Times-Dispatch. Nathaniel originally joined the military in an attempt to serve his country, while furthering his education and bettering himself, but once the Persian Gulf War broke out Stroman was not in support of the violence that would soon follow in consequence.

In 1997, Earthquake got his national break when he was asked to join the Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam Tour.[3] Earthquake started his career in the Airforce in the talent show “Tops and Blues”.[4] In 2002, Earthquake joined Latham Entertainment Presents Comedy Tour.[4] In 2004, he signed a deal with ABC to create his own sitcom called “Earthquake,” which later fell through,[citation needed] although in 2005 he performed one of his most popular best shows “About Goddamn Time”.[5] In 2007, he appeared in All Star Def Comedy Jam,[6] and in 2008 appeared in with TBS Comedy Festival Lollapalooza.[7] In 2009, Earthquake starred in Shaquille O Neal’s All star Comedy Jam Special (comedy zone).
