My new article is a blend of reportage, comment, and spirituality following the antisemitic terrorism in London earlier this week. Despite everything, I am still optimistic about the future. Read here: https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/387751/london-under-attack/

A brilliant 5-star review from The Indiependent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Their reviewer came on the very last performance at Edinburgh, and I’m thrilled with it. It was a small audience on the day, but I ❤️ what she’s written. This stuff is very heartwarming and a great boost for the next performances.

✨”★★★★★ The script is very witty and flows together seamlessly.”

💫“Marcus Is Alive is a heartfelt and entertaining play that I’m surprised hasn’t gained more traction this Fringe. It has everything you could possibly ask for in a one-man show: an interesting story brought alive by an incredibly talented performer, funny jokes, well-executed songs and strong messages. Freed is a joy to watch and I really hope he returns to the Fringe in years to come.”

✨”His jokes are much funnier than the audience gave him credit for, and he would thrive in front of a bigger crowd.”
