You are permitted to perform the Eid prayers and the Friday prayer. This is because the Eid prayers do not require a specific number of worshippers, so they are valid even if a person performs them alone. As for the Friday prayer, the more authoritative view is that a congregation is required according to common understanding, without specifying a particular number.
