Don Friesen

Fresh, Frenetic, and Thoroughly Relatable

Don Friesen

Don’s smart, savvy, and highly caffeinated humor manages to be adult-smart yet family-friendly. He's a modern suburban dad just trying to raise his kids and get through the day with a bit of money in the bank and a scrap of dignity intact. With a unique style that can best be described as frenetic and engaging, Don captures the irony of everyday absurdities through characters, voices, parodies and some of the best written routines around. He's a wanna-be geek who constantly upgrades to the latest technology, but can never get it to work, leading to signature bits about tech support, Idiots Guides, texting and passwords.

Friesen is the only comedian to win the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition twice.

“The entertainment you provided was truly outstanding. Our Clients and their business partners will talk about that evening for years to come."
Gary Landers, Managing Partner, AON

"It was wonderful to see our executives and their spouses releasing those endorphins through exhaustive laughter. I appreciated the way you took what little information you had about our company, and incorporated it into your hilarious routines. Very Creative!"
Linda F Brill, Director of Communications, Aerospace Corporation

"(Friesen) reminds me of Jim Carrey - I worked with him early on - you just knew he was a very talented, high-energy comedian that you could put in front of any audience and he would totally destroy. Well, Don Friesen is the same way. He's really a booker's dream."
Kevin Kearney, National Booking Manager, Catch a Rising Star

"Hilarious. You found the perfect style and line for the evening. The executives, famous filmmakers, and Cinequest's Board of Directors raved about your work."
Halfdan Hussie, Executive Director, Cinequest, Inc.



"One of the fastest rising comics in show business today."
Martin Short

"Hosting an intimate group of Fortune 500 executives, we were taking a bit of a risk in having a comedian, but I really wanted to get these executives loose and laughing, and you delivered the goods. Everyone was laughing throughout. Some (including myself) uncontrollably … it truly went beyond my expectations!"
Gavin McKay, Marketing Strategy Consultant, Ferrazzi Greenligh
