He attended George Washington University and originally intended to attend law school.
Friedland got his start in the Washington, D.C. comedy scene by running the punk house Subterranean A, a noted DIY venue begun with a friend following his graduation in 2009 and deferment from law school. Over its two-and-a-half year run, it hosted the likes of musical artists Radical Face, Tennis, Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, and the ensemble Secret Society, and comedy acts James Adomian and Wham City. It had its final show in June 2012. He hosted a number of comedy shows, first at Subterranean A and then other venues in the city, gaining notability in the scene for his 'alternative' performance piece-oriented comedy. He also aided in the live series You, Me, Them, Everybody. He performed at the Bentzen Ball (in 2013 & 2014) and was named to the annual "Best of D.C." list by the Washington City Paper. He moved to New York City in 2014.
Outside of Cum Town, he is best known as the host of the live alternative comedy show Funny Moms; the show began in Washington D.C. in 2012 with original co-host Sara Starmour and transferred to Brooklyn in 2015. He also co-hosted the sports podcast White Chocolate NBA Pipecast with Halkias from 2017 to 2018. He is a recurring guest on Chapo Trap House. He is the former fiancé of podcaster and actress Dasha Nekrasova.
