Harry was amazing with his roast for my husband surprise 50th. He took all the information and turned it into a laughter filled experience to roast my husband family and friends that added so much flare to a party. Couldn’t ask for a better comedian to end the night.

Thanks Michelle!
Harry Freedman does it ALL! He came to our birthday party as a long lost relative and went into a full fledged roasting and comedy act for our entire family! The family laughed through the entire party and are still talking about the amazing time we had with Dr. Harry Freedman in attendance.
Harry was involved from the moment we booked and wrote a carefully crafted comedy routine that was enjoyed by all in attendance. You can't miss when Dr. Harry Freedman is attendance. Don't delay and book today for a night you'll never forget!!!

I had booked Harry for my wife’s 40th birthday party, not only is he very professional communicative and punctual but he is very funny and quick witted. Your guests will have a great time with Harry on the microphone.

Response from Harry Freedman:
Thank you again Kelsey! It was so easy working with you it made everything a true pleasure.
We hired Harry for a corporate meeting coming off a period of change and transition, where laughs would certainly be needed. Boy, did he deliver. Harry worked very closely with our senior leadership team in creating a performance that was custom to our audience, referencing our industry, and working with us to identify individuals present who could be referenced in his act. He worked hard prior to the event, allowed us to review/approve the material, and his delivery the day of far exceeded our expectations.
If you are looking for teambuilding, morale boosters after change or tumoil, or just an overall laugh, Harry Freedman is your man.

Thanks Tracey! It was so great working with you and Joe!
Harry took a lot of time to tailor the comedic skit to be specific to our industry and relate to our clients. He was easy to work with, and always available via phone, email or text. We had a short time frame for this event, but Harry came through in the end and delivered all the laughs. Would definitely hire again

Harry had a tough crowd to deal with, but was able to pull it off and deliver a funny act. We really enjoyed Harry and his hysterical jokes. He kept the crowd entertained and laughing. I highly recommend Harry and would have him perform at another event. Thanks Harry.

Thanks Chad!
Harry was great. He had the crowd of 350 laughing thru his whole routine.
This was a retirement party and Harry took the time to meet with us prior to the event. He got all the info he could and gave us a preview of his routine.
We cannot say enough, Harry is a fantastic comedian.
Thank You Harry

Harry was everything I expected and more!! He came to our private home over an hour and half from his for my husband’s 40th birthday. It was an intimate gathering where he did his stand up routine. Harry was timely, polite and very professional. We couldn’t have picked a better or funnier entertainer. When he left a few family members noted that their cheeks still hurt from laughing! Do not miss out on Harry!

Claudine, it was such a pleasure. I will always remember Nick's dad afterwards asking, "so what's it like hanging on the coattails of Ray Romano." Cracked me up. You and Nick and everyone were so nice. Pleasure to come into your home and entertain.

Response from Harry Freedman:
Thanks Mike. I had to deal with people at the bar that would not stop talking during the whole show. Room set up not ideal with 2 sides and me in the middle on a dance floor but the bar noise was the main issue.
We we all very satisfied and happy with Harry's performance. From the personalization, to the attention to detail, to the easy to access and easy going manner. From the very start, Harry was easy to talk to and always there to talk to about the upcoming event. I was able to give him as much information as I wanted. Harry was so professional but yet felt like family. His routine centered around my mom and had everyone laughing. He added a special touch of his own doing ....that will never be forgotten. What a guy! Great comedian! Yes, definitely 5 stars!!! Thank you, Harry, for making the party a success!

Harry was great entertainment and he even brought 2 other comedians to our holiday party. It really was a very professional and funny evening with Harry and his friends. I highly recommend them!

Benefits of using Harry Freedman, as stated by his Corporate Clients.
BONDING & TEAMBUILDING
The laughter in the room and the atmosphere you created
greatly helped our networking and collaboration mission.
Your presentation was a great way to build team morale,
break down social barriers, and have a few laughs after a
long day.
Richard Girgenti, KPMG: US Partner in Charge, Forensic
REENERGIZE PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE
Everyone was pretty strained, as we were under serious
licensing deadlines. You got everyone laughing so hard, we
may have coaxed an extra week of overtime from our workers.

It was great watching their faces as they slowly realized you
were an imposter. The laughter just flowed.
