One by one, we’re losing the best of the very best people in the funny business. Today comes word of the death of 85-year-old comedian Freddie Roman, a Catskills-style comic who played virtually every joint in Atlantic City, usually as the opener for a major star (including a last-minute gig with Frank Sinatra at Bally’s Grandstand Under the Stars).

Freddie occasionally headlined and also created and hosted the variety revue “Tonight Live” at the former Trump’s Castle. That ever-changing show proved to be his path to Broadway, where he created and was one of the four comedy stars in the hit “Catskills on Broadway.” Take a well-deserved bow and enjoy that standing-O, Freddie. You made a lot of people laugh during your decades in the business. Now it’s time for a well-deserved rest. May his memory be for a blessing.
