We are saddened to report the passing of Freddie Roman, a well-known American comedian who brought joy to audiences for years. At the age of eighty-five, Freddie passed away after suffering from a catastrophic heart attack. His wit, talent, and love for comedy made him a beloved figure in the industry.

Freddie was a true entertainer who could captivate audiences of all kinds. With countless shows under his belt, he knew how to bring laughter to thousands of people with his hilarious jokes. He also showcased his acting skills in several movies throughout his career, leaving a lasting mark on the American comedy scene.

Despite his age, Freddie remained active in his craft until the very end. Although he gradually reduced his involvement in recent years, he continued to leave a lasting impact as a stand-up comedian, writer, actor, and producer.

Freddie’s daughter, Judi Levin, recently spoke to TMZ about her father’s passing. She shared that he suffered a heart attack while resting at his country club home in Boynton Beach, Florida. The entire family, including Freddie’s wife of sixty-three years, Ethel, was by his side during his final moments.

One of Freddie’s most memorable achievements was his role as the leader of the Friars Club ensemble. This famous New York City club was renowned for its talented group of comics who entertained audiences night after night. Freddie served as the dean of the Friars Club for many years, leaving a lasting legacy.

In addition to his stand-up comedy, Freddie co-wrote and starred in the stage show “Catskills on Broadway,” which showcased his immense talent. He also performed at prestigious venues across the country, including Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and Harrah’s in Atlantic City.

Freddie was not only a master of comedy but also an expert roaster. He participated in several Comedy Central roasts, poking fun at fellow comedians such as Drew Carey, Rob Reiner, Hugh Hefner, Chevy Chase, and Jerry Stiller.

Let’s take a moment to remember some of Freddie’s funny quotes that never grow old:

• “Viagra keeps me from rolling out of bed.”
• “Eleven years ago, I became president for two years. I’m like the Fidel Castro of comedians. I’m president for life.”
• “Mike Tyson is an interesting story. He’s the only person in America who’s driving a 250,000-dollar car, who actually made the license plates for that car.”

Freddie’s talent extended beyond the stage. He appeared in numerous movies throughout his career, including “Welcome to Kutsher’s: The Last Catskills Resort” (2012), “The Last Laugh” (2006), “Bittersweet Place” (2005), and “Christ in the City” (2005).

His humor also graced the small screen, with appearances on shows like “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” “Now That’s Funny!,” “Stark Raving Mad,” and “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.”
