JARED FREID
Jared Freid is a stand-up comedian, podcaster and author based out of New York City. His most recent stand up special, “37 & Single” premiered on Netflix in 2023 to rave reviews and rose to the Top 10 most watched TV in the US and Canada on Netflix. In addition, The New York Times touted “In the crowded field of dating jokes, Jared Freid…distinguishes himself…”. With a strong focus on dating and relationships, Jared’s comedy reflects the ordinary daily thoughts of everyone you know, especially if you know a lot of millennials that are obsessing over dating apps, trying to be real adults, and worrying about their bodies.

In June 2026, Jared had his first book, “Walking Red Flag, Dating Advice From Your Favorite Guy Friend” published by Simon & Schuster. PEOPLE magazine described the book as offering “brutally honest” dating advice and highlighted its blend of comedy with practical guidance, while Publishers Weekly called the book a “friendly and refreshingly blunt resource for exhausted daters” and praised Freid for bringing “welcome levity to his generally sound advice” on relationships and communication.

Jared has appeared on a number of television programs over the years including multiple appearances on “The Tonight Show” and as a regular contributor on “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network. He recently made a guest appearance on ABC’s the “Golden Bachelor” where he hosted a group date roast of the Bachelor, Mel Owens. Jared also voiced the comedic narrator role on Peacock’s popular reality show “Love Under Cover” and he can be seen in the independent romantic comedy “31 Candles.”

In addition to his hectic touring schedule, Jared hosts two highly rated weekly podcasts including his “JTrain Podcast”. The show has a cult following of loyal fans. Guests have included: Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Colin Quinn, Sal Vulcano, Bert Kreischer, Dave Attell, Michelle Wolf and more. It’s been called “A Dear Abby for Dudes,” which is why both men and women tune in religiously. Many of Jared’s fans say that his advice has helped them in their personal lives. Jared also co-hosts the popular podcast “U Up?” with Jordana Abraham of Betches, where they discuss their takes on modern dating with issues ranging from apps to hookups to relationships.

In 2019, Jared released his first full-length comedy album “Always a Momma Bear” through Virtual Comedy Network. The album debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts. Jared was also named a New Face of Comedy at the Just For Laugh’s comedy festival in 2017.
