How he turned funny into money! Jared Freid spent $80K to make a comedy special “37 and Single” and Netflix bought it! The secrets behind the $$$ and time deployed in the career of stand-up comedy!

This week, Jason is joined by New York based standup comedian, Jared Freid!

Jared has become well known for his comedic insights into how millennial dating and relationships begin and end, ranging from the obsession over dating apps, trying to be real adults, and worrying about their looks on a daily basis. From performing alongside the likes of Jimmy Fallon to writing for media outlets such as BroBible and Total Frat Move, Jared has made his mark across many comedic outlets around the country. In addition to his standup comedy work, Jared hosts three highly rated weekly podcasts including U Up? and the J Train which both focus on various takes on modern day dating and generate a combined 1.2M+ monthly listeners. 

Jared gives insight to his Netflix special “37 and Single” and what goes into creating a standup special, the variety of income when in the middle class of standup comedy, the amount of time that goes into building a comedy career, what challenges someone coming from reality TV can have venturing into standup, and his TedTalk about who should pay for the first date. Jared also reveals how he wanted to be funny for money and finding out how to do it, how a best man speech can be used as a base to writing comedy, the different types of stand up, what he wrote for Betches about Jason based on his Bachelorette bio, how he handles hecklers, and his best advice when it comes to bombing. What networks passed on his special before Netflix? How long was he preparing before getting his first $1,000 as a comic? Who from Bachelor Nation has he had the toughest interaction with?

Jared Freid reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
