“…Ferenczi…could become quite the cult.” - Steve Bennett, Chortle
Crowned Silver Comedian of the Year at Leicester Comedy Festival in 2018, Fred now appears across the UK on all-pro line ups at top clubs, filling all bill positions (depending on the size of the club), Opening, Middle and Closer. He has sets (including clean ones) of anything up to 30 minutes and has toured with several one-man shows.
Fred Ferenczi is highly experienced and reliably hilarious stand-up (he began in 2013 whose brand of unique humour wins him rapturous audience reactions and many repeat bookings. A typical booker comment: “It was refreshing to see the hilarious Fred Ferenczi and if any bookers see this, we highly recommend Fred for a set.” - Gary Jackets, Joker comedy club.
He has now reached a standard where the prestigious STAND comedy club books him frequently for Red Raw (15 at the last count) and other paid gigs and have said “Fred absolutely knocked it out of the park tonight. He was the best-received of the whole evening. His timing/ pacing was magnificent.”
GLEE has described his act as “Kaufmanesque) and his timing as “fabulous”. Amongst top comedy admirers, Paul Sinha has said Fred writes “jokes to absolutely die for!” and “should be on TV”.
For a flavour of the left-a-bit-field darkly-tinged, rude oddness, erudition and sheer
unseriousness of Fred Frenzy, one can do no better than cite unsolicited quotes from promoters and top stand-ups (see below).
“Fred absolutely knocked it out of the park tonight. He was the best-received of the whole evening. His timing/pacing was magnificent” - The Stand, Newcastle
