An Evening with Jared Freid — Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy Friend

Despite “looking like a toxic frat bro” (as Ronny Chieng puts it), comedian and beloved host of The J-Train and U Up? podcasts Jared Freid is actually one of the sharpest translators of dating chaos out there — what Logan Ury calls “one of the most insightful voices in modern dating.” And honestly? We need him. You’re not crazy— dating right now feels like a group project where nobody read the instructions.

You know the type: he plans a candlelit weekend, then says he’s “just seeing what’s out there.” He watches your Instagram Story in three seconds flat … then replies to your text like he’s mailing it by carrier pigeon. Following up his Netflix smash 37 & Single and his Table for One tour, Freid has put all his advice together in a good old-fashioned dating advice book — Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy Friend — and is stopping by our stage for the book launch. This is your night to laugh at the madness, decode the mixed signals, and maybe even feel optimistic again. Because if dating is a joke … at least this time, you’re in on it.
