Heshy Fried

Heshy Fried (born December 28, 1981) is a former American stand-up comedian and blogger who now works as a caterer. He was raised Orthodox on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and attended the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York. Fried began blogging on Frum Satire in June 2006 while living in Albany, New York, and gained wider attention about six months later with a post outlining different categories of sects in the Orthodox community. He was named one of the most influential Jewish bloggers in 2008 and was invited to Israel to attend the first International Jewish Bloggers Conference. In 2009, Frum Satire averaged approximately 50,000 visitors a month, though he stopped updating the blog in 2014. That same year he moved to the San Francisco Bay area, and he is now owner and chef at the Epic Bites catering company in Oakland.
