Our company hired Freddie to perform a Comedy and Magic gig during our corporate mixer. I worked with Freddie and he went above and beyond to make what I thought would be only Comedy and such to be a team participation experience of fun that had a good message to work together well as a team. He is extremely funny, professional, kind and left a memorable moment for our team. I appreciate his performance and we would absolutely hire him again.
