Daniel Friedman(born 9 January 1981), known on stage as Deep Fried Man, is a South African musical comedian and writer based in Johannesburg.
He describes what he does as "stand-up comedy with a guitar".
He adopted his stage name, a play on his real name, because "it went along with the kind of musical comedy I wanted to do, which was an unhealthy kind of comedy".
In 2018 Willem Petzer and him feuded about jokes Friedman had made 6 years earlier about white genocide in South Africa.
