Fred Armisen (born 4 December 1966) is an American comedian, actor, writer, and musician known for his eccentric humour, impeccable timing, and genre-defying creativity. He rose to fame as a cast member on Saturday Night Live before co-creating the cult-favourite sketch series Portlandia, where his offbeat characters and razor-sharp satire earned him critical acclaim. With projects like Documentary Now! and Los Espookys, Armisen continues to blur the lines between comedy, music, and performance art—always unpredictable, always original.

His style is quietly unconventional, mixing indie sensibility with subtle retro nods. Often in dark layers, vintage jackets, and casual tailoring, Armisen favours eyewear that’s smart, modest, and slightly nerd-chic. He frequently wears classic rectangular or rounded frames in black or tortoiseshell acetates, aligning with brands like Thierry Lasry or Oliver Peoples. Whether performing on stage or making low-key appearances, his glasses add a touch of intellectual cool—functional, unfussy, and effortlessly in tune with his quirky brilliance.
