The New York Times said of Harry Freedman ---

"He was introduced at a bankers convention as an F.D.I.C. regulator. But when in his speech he attributed the savings and loan crisis to careless bank tellers who didn't check their coin rolls carefully - 'a few pennies here, a few pennies there, and the next thing you know, you're down $500 billion' - the bankers in the audience began to wonder what was going on. Their instincts were right. Harry Freedman is an utter fraud - a stand-up comedian whom dozens of companies have asked to pretend he's an industry expert or a newly hired executive to bring humor to annual meetings or conventions."  -- Barbara Lyne

• Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc:
  Dear Richard De La Font: I'm writing to thank you for recommending Harry Freedman for our recent conference. Harry was everything we hoped for and more! His material and performance exceeded our expectations in every way. Our audience absolutely loved him! He was also a pleasure to work with, which made my job easier.
  
  I want to mention that Harry gave us complete peace of mind with professionalism over his content. As you might imagine, at Coca-Cola, we are sticklers for detail, so we really appreciated that Harry reviewed his speech with us ahead of time, enabling us to feel comfortable with his entire speech.
  
  He is truly talented and we hope we can use him again sometime soon.  -- Jonathan Hall
   

• ServNet:
  Dear Richard De La Font: First, I want to personally thank you for your recommendation on Harry Freedman. Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Clients that are very knowledgeable about the automotive industry were hanging on Harry's every word for the first 15+ minutes until it became more obvious that they had been had.
  
  For me, Harry was very easy to work with. He made himself available for review of material and the hours of customization necessary for him to be perceived as an automotive industry authority.
  
  Finally, I would encourage others that are contemplating doing the hoax speaker for their event to seriously consider Harry's customized video presentation. The hoax speaking engagement had our owners and guests attentive and laughing; but the video presentation that followed put them on the floor laughing until they had tears in their eyes.  -- R.M. Sullivan, president
