Heshy Fried (born December 28, 1981) is a former American stand-up comedian and blogger who now works as a caterer.

[1] Fried was raised Orthodox on the Upper West Side of Manhattan,[2] and he attended the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York (TIUNY) but did not graduate.

[3] Fried moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 2009 and was employed as a line cook at The Kitchen Table, then Silicon Valley's only kosher eatery.

Fried began blogging on Frum Satire in June 2006 when he lived in Albany, New York,[5][4] but did not enter the spotlight until about six months later when he wrote a post outlining different categories of sects in the Orthodox and Protestants community.

[6] Fried was also invited to attend the Fourth Annual ROI Summit from June 28 through July 2, 2009, held in Tel Aviv, Israel, for influential young Jewish innovators from around the world.
