Bill Burr is developing a half-hour comedy at Fox based on the life of comedian Earthquake (real name Nathaniel Stroman). It will be titled, wait for it, Earthquake.
Burr is producing the project through his North Hill Productions; 3 Arts Entertainment will also produce through Fox Entertainment Studios. Right now the commitment is just for a script; Burr, Dave Becky, manager Jermaine Smith and (Burr’s producing partner) Mike Bertolina are executive producers.
That’s about all we’ve got for now. Well, aside from the super-long bios provided by Fox.
Earthquake is a comedian, actor, voice artist and radio personality. In 2022, he had an episode of Chappelle’s Home Team, titled “Earthquake: Legendary,” on Netflix. Earthquake was a staple of shows like BET’s Comic View and HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. His specials include About Got Damm Time, Walter Latham Presents, From the Outhouse to the Whitehouse and These Ain’t Jokes for Showtime.
You know Bill Burr. He’s one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time and entered dramatic acting via Breaking Bad. Burr’s own life story, basically, was told through his Netflix animated series F Is for Family. Burr has hosted SNL twice and just wrapped up a Broadway run of Glengarry Glen Ross.
And that’s all the bio you really need.
