Episode 24: Jared Freid

Jared Freid is a comedian based out of New York City and originally from Needham, Massachusetts. His comedy is current and reflects the ordinary daily thoughts of everyone you know, especially if everyone you know is a millennial, obsessed with dating apps, trying to be a real adult, and worried about their body. (For the record, Jared’s mom thinks his body is “just fine.”) He’s a regular at the Comedy Cellar, Caroline’s on Broadway, Gotham, Stand Up New York, and Comix at Mohegan Sun. He also performed at the 2017 “New Faces” showcase at the Just For Laughs festival in Montréal. He’s currently starring in the Snapchat series “How Low Can You Go?” He’s recently been featured on MTV2’s new series “Vidiots,” as well as TruTV’s “NFL Full Contact,” MTV’s “Failosophy,” NBC’s “The Today Show,” NFL Network’s “Top Ten,” and AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live.” His weekly "JTrain Podcast" is booming and touring live around the country. It’s already at over 450,000 listeners per month and regularly in the iTunes top 100. It’s been called “A Dear Abbey for Dudes,” which is why both men and women tune in religiously. Additionally, he co-hosts a modern dating podcast called “U Up?” with Jordana Abraham of Betches, where they discuss their take on modern dating with issues ranging from apps to hookups to relationships.
