Harry Freedman - Professional Achievements
 

Perhaps the only individual to have been profiled in the business sections of The New York Times, Miami Herald and the International Herald Tribune, Harry Freedman will create the perfect industry expert for your group that will have everyone fooled until they are roaring with laughter! With over two decades of professional experience, Harry Freedman has performed put-ons for hundreds of top companies, performed regularly on national television and has worked with everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Ray Romano.

"If I don't know it, nobody does!" says Harry Freedman, self-acclaimed as "The Nation's Leading Expert." Is he serious? Of course not. Yet millions of television viewers, plus audiences at hundreds of corporate meetings and conventions nationwide, have taken Harry Freedman very seriously--right up until the moment they realize they have been put-on--and begin laughing.

He is a comedian with national exposure on television shows such as America's Funniest People, Stand-Up Spotlight, and Comedy On The Road and has worked as a television comedy writer with credits ranging from Caroline's Comedy Hour to Richard Jeni's Showtime Special. Plus, he has over a decade of professional experience appearing regularly in showrooms and clubs in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, and even Hackensack, New Jersey.

Additional Information
 

Yet audiences have also encountered him as a psychologist, presidential advisor, and other pontificating experts. Despite his serious demeanor and lofty credentials, Harry Freedman isn't who he says he is. However, there is no doubt that Harry Freedman is one of the nation's leading experts--in put-ons!

Harry Freedman got his start in stand-up comedy about 15 years ago. However, he knew he'd found his calling when he helped a comedian friend write a "put-on" speech for a company. Since that time, Freedman has been hired by many major corporations to lighten the atmosphere at conventions. He has presented for Chrysler Corporation, Amoco, Dunn & Bradstreet, and many others. And whether he's pretending to be a newly hired vice president, a stockbroker, a national economist, or a sports doctor, he never fails to leave the audience in gales of laughter.

Freedman gives speeches to about 40-50 groups a year, and his put-ons are always tailored to his audience. For his research, he finds out what the hot issues within the particular industry are at the time. He also requests annual reports and any other information to give him a good background on the company. And the research always pays off. "I am enough of an expert to convince them that I am real," says Freedman. "And after a while they realize I am a fraud."

So, remember: The next time you tune into a TV talk show or walk into a corporate meeting and someone introduces the industry expert or the noted authority on almost any subject, it just may be Harry Freedman, "The Nation's Leading Expert."

What a great way to end a very busy day. The comments from the attendees are outstanding!

I feel compelled to write this letter and thank you for the outstanding job you did at our FY 01 Sales Kick-off.....The way you blended in the information we provided you was fantastic. It took at least 40 minutes for the sales force and executives to realize you were not the new PTC COO, which is exactly what our intention was. You were great, Harry!!! Only a true professional could make it look so easy!
