BUZZ

Here are some publications that have given me a little shout out recently...
Click the large logo to see the articles.
Centerstage Chicago "Her dark, dry humor, both offends and pleases. A stand-up comedian to the core, Friedman can take the stage and keep the audience captive. This might be partly because she's a very innocent-looking lady, but also because you're never sure what she's going to hit you with next."

Random Jewey Mag "Friedman is a Jewish female comedian, yet her material tends to skip the parts about being Jewish and female. Her jokes run the gamut of... morbid ponderings on date rapists, the “Streetwise” sellers, provocative photos of Disney teen pop star Miley Cyrus, and the contrasts between black and white Chicago neighborhoods. Friedman pushes the envelope in her comedy..."

NYtheatre.com [about Refugee Girls Revue] "...a sharp political show written by a young female comedian. Friedman's brutally funny and unique view of the absurdity of our world makes her a comic force to be reckoned with. She offers a razor-sharp satire that joyfully skewers the American Dream in all of its commercialized glory. Keep an eye out for her standup as well as her future theatrical endeavors."

Time Out NY Theater [about Refugee Girls Revue] "...As smart as it is amusing...Tsunamis, illegal immigration, child labor, global warming: Nothing is safe or sacred in the deliciously wicked spoof that is The Refugee Girls Revue."

Lingual Tremors [about Refugee Girls Revue] This is a smart, well-written, hilarious parody. Its timely political commentary... a searing commentary on our times... bringing a little Second City Chicago energy to New York...don't miss it!"
