About the Instructors
David “Catash” Morch, a multi-talented entertainer hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Hampton Roads, Virginia! He has a genuine passion for bringing laughter to people’s lives by solidifying my reputation as a highly-skilled comedian/entertainer/speaker. A US Army veteran, he is dedicated to our country and continues to weave magic in the world of entertainment with captivating performances and infectious humor, leaving an enduring mark on audiences and spreading joy wherever he goes. His love for his craft and ability to touch hearts make him a true gem in the realm of entertainment and comedy.
A native of Hampton, Virginia; Fred a.k.a “Team Fred” is a disabled army veteran who gets his comedic wit from his late grandfather who would always be the highlight at all family events. Team Fred carried this legacy to high school where he was voted most WIT his senior year and the accolades didn’t stop there. As an engineer major at North Carolina A& T State University he was able to make nerds laugh all the time and it just continued into his professional career as an Army Officer in the military. His soldiers would love the impromptu style that he used during their long runs in the morning as well as their times training in the field. Team Fred didn’t capitalize on this hidden talent until February 2013 when he was “dared” by a co-worker to participate in a local open mic night where he went and was an instant hit. Team Fred puts on comedy events at various Military installations giving soldiers, veterans and civilians the best medicine, LAUGHTER.
