Rave Reviews About Harry Freedman
“
You had everyone believing you were for real even as you got them laughing hysterically. I have heard nothing but rave reviews. Your performance, coupled with the videotaped interviews of our executives, which you created in a 24-hour period, turned your show into something way beyond our wildest expectations. The video was so funny, that you had everyone including our President doubling over in laughter. Most importantly it was all done with style and class. It was no surprise to me, that you received an unsolicited standing ovation.

More rave reviews

"We’ve had humorist and comedians before, but never have we heard our normally restrained bankers pounding on the tables with laughter."

-Independent Bankers Association

"The chairman of the company almost fell off his chair when he realized that you were a hired hand. Next morning he said, “Yours was the best performance he’d seen in 10 years."

-HITT Contracting

"You were the highlight of our annual conference!"

-Edison Electric Institute

"Harry did a fabulous job posing as an economist. His content and delivery was hysterical and he held the crowd in laughter throughout his speech."

-Moen Incorporated

"Posing as a Strategic Business Speaker, Mr. Freedman, to put it simply, was hilarious. I consider that if people start crying with laughter during a comedy routine, the comedian is at the highest skill level. If I had to bring up a comedian that he reminded me of, it would be Larry David, who I consider a master. Mr. Freedman is also a gentleman and we loved working with him."

-Arizona Young Presidents Organization

"We are in the business of preventing and detecting fraud. To my surprise, you were able to fool our top-notch investigators. You helped build team morale and gave us laughs after a long day. A job well done!"

-KPMG, US

"Harry’s material and performance exceeded our expectations in every way. Our audience absolutely loved him."

-Coca Cola

"Harry Freedman, one of our speakers at the 46th Annual Meeting of the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California and Nevada was a tremendous hit and I thank you very much for the recommendation. He was, in fact, a very fine comedian who invested a tremendous amount of time catering his material to our organization. There were several people in the audience who were literally brought to tears they were laughing so hard. Freedman was a pleasure to work with and did everything he could to accommodate our group, our schedule and our venue."

-Archer Norris

"The program you designed for LIMBA was hilarious. I received many favorable comments from the membership. "

-Long Island Midsuffolk Business Action

"I probably don't need to tell you what you already know -- you were a major hit at our management conference dinner and provided exactly the balance I had hoped for following a more somber awards presentation. The humor was well received by the audience and I expect the conference attendees will be talking about it for some time to come."

-Emcor Group

"Thank you for the tremendous job you did performing at our recent retirement party for Steven Allen. Your impersonation as an aide to Governor Pataki was ideal since one of Steve's responsibilities was to lobby in Albany on our behalf. The look on peoples' faces as you slowly went from 'legitimate' to comical was priceless. Some even thought you were risking your job by some of the outlandish comments directed at Steve and the Governor until they finally caught on to the scam. A good time was had by all that night and your performance was a huge part of it. Thanks again. "

-Police Department of Nassau County

"I have received rave reviews regarding your presentation on health care...Your ability to inject humor into what is typically very serious subject matter not only caught the management team off guard, it enabled everybody to enjoy a good laugh. Your humorous take towards certain selected and talented 'characters' involved in managing our wonderful organization was the 'cherry on top.' We will definitely keep you in mind for future engagements. "

-Mt. Diablo Health Systems
