Eric Plaks: Performing Artist in New York

About Eric Plaks

Eric Plaks is a New York City–based performer associated with Freddy’s Bar in Brooklyn, where he appears across the venue’s open‑mic circuit. His credits there include Mimsey’s Open Mic, the Monday and Wednesday comedy open mic, Humans Against Music, the monthly storytelling series So What Happened Was..., and the Original Music Open Mic hosted by Luke. On recordings he’s tagged with free jazz and avant‑garde, pointing to an improviser’s ear and a willingness to let structure shift mid‑set. His work tends to favor risk and immediacy over polish.
