Sigmund Fraud

Steven Lockley is obsessed with Moon Knight but lives a rather puny existence. Poor little Steven depends on the kindness of neighbors just to make sure he can eat his dinner! But something more sinister seems to be going on... Something that a weak ass therapist like Ian Herrin will never be able to resolve peacefully...

Love is abound when Paulie Frontbutt comes in to Ian's office in what is clearly a violation of the ethical principals a real therapist would have. Paulie seems to suffer a hyper specific form of kleptomania, but under the supervision of this fraud the only good Paulie sounds like he's going to do is wash his car. Plus, Ian runs up the bill by killing time talking regional grocery store chains and being of no service to any substantive form of mental health.

LIVE from Under St. Marks, Sigmund Fraud himself interviews patients Barbara Cumb, Trey Dilfer, and Hellen Highwater about their court mandated therapy and their lives as venture capitalists. These three are clearly some sick puppies in desperate need of some hard call outs, but Ian instead seems to only want to talk about sex, dead parents, and whom else they can blame for their situation. 

Poor old Hal sure is hard on himself! And Ian ain't the guy to help. I mean, some of the implications of the advice he gives in this session are simply obscene. How many times must Hal to be forced to reenter? And how does he not realize that Ian is going to be draining his Touchdown Bank account? I sure hope Hal has a good long look in the mirror and decides to never go back.

Oh hey friend! Was also just thinking about how much Brian Gurien makes me smile. https://www.briangurien.com/

Dom Pants is an old school kind of guy used to simple Thursdays of slicing moooooozerella and running into old friends. It's hard to believe a classic guy's guy like Dom would need a shrink to be giving him advice, but would you believe he picked the dumbest one in town on top of that? Ian subs to Dom's dom right away and maybe it's better if he chokes on a cigar pinky rather than say anything else soo stupid, you know what I'm saying?

Hallmark actor Prieston Hartley find himself in a perpetual holiday season even in March. Prieston seems to have displaced a number of memories and struggles working in the factory system of pumping out film after film, but he shan't find warmth and family values in the dark perverted soul of Ian Herrin. How will the town choir ever raise enough money to continue with Ian blabbering on and on about his new paint class and eating soup on first dates? And does Ian even have the balls to call out whose really behind all of this?

Don't forget! Heckle Ian at Sigmund Fraud LIVE next Monday March 14th 9pm Under St. Marks via Squirrel Comedy, tickets on sale now:

Sooo random but the comedian Tim Agius is unbelievably smart and funny. Maybe give him a follow on Twitter?

Avid Dungeons & Dragons player Harry Chan must've rolled terrible on perception and insight to have Ian Herrin as his therapist. Harry is clearly struggling after forgetting to pick up his mother-in-law from the airport but Ian's solution won't be of much real help. Perhaps Ian is the monster that Harry has been campaigning against all along.....

Uber driver James Asavarahap (James Asa for short) joins Ian after a long hiatus from therapy. James is a sensitive, hard working, thoughtful, and well intentioned bro that just wants people to do their own research. James is also frequently struck by moments of invention, although please don't ask him to describe how his future product might be used! A better therapist maybe could help James find more stillness in his life and make deeper connections, but does Ian do that? Not by a long shot....

Rap star Thicki Kitti has been sent to therapy by Crippled Bills Record Label to convince her to release not only her single "Cuz I'm Naked" dropping March 4th, but a whole album that they can exploit and profit from. What Thicki Kitti doesn't realize is that Ian is on the take and won't be of much impartial help either on her road to self-discovery nor to get any closer to that ring in the Himalayas she can't stop thinking about. Alas, even some amazing freestyling post-meditation shan't be enough to justify this as a productive hour in the life of this artist...

Have you happened upon the incredible work of Onyi Okoli via @onyiokoli or https://www.onyiokoli.com ? She really is releasing a new single as Thicki Kitti on March 4th, 2022! Presave link coming soon and tickets for all her upcoming improv shows are linked within her Insta and website, so be sure to check it out!

It me.... Isn't he soooo rude to me in this session? I want to punch him right in his cryogenically frozen face sometimes. He's rude to the people he improvises with, he's rude to his premium patients, and I think his whole practice very well might be a scam. Also, why does he keep the tapes if he just puts all the episodes in his personal cloud anyways? What a dickwad....

I keep going off on tangents but Erin Harland is an incredible musician whom I've been trying to support. You can check out Erin @erharland on social media, go to her website for booking and to see some of her art, annnnnd be sure to catch Erin at the Mercury Lounge Sunday March 20th at 9pm!

And don't forget, that stupid man Ian Herrin is doing Sigmund Fraud LIVE! Monday March 14th 9pm at Under St. Marks via Squirrel Comedy (tickets on sale about a week after the release of this episode)
