"Fred was Fabulous at our recent FUNdraiser! he was very professional, super accommodating when our timing changed at the last minute and just SO MUCH fun to watch. He engaged the entire audience, you could have heard a pin drop at one point then a few minutes later there was lots of applause. I would recommend Fred Zimmerman to entertain at any event!"
Review by Laura H.
Fred gave a highly engaging, entertaining, and professional performance for our group, and the feedback from attendees was universally positive. It was the perfect post-dinner entertainment for our ~20-person corporate event. Fred's witty comments and dialogue .. kept everyone engaged throughout. It was also a nice touch that he personalized the routine to our group and company. We've hired many different types of entertainment over the years but this was our first 'mentalist' - we would definitely engage Fred again and would highly recommend him to others.
