Sigmund Fraud (Ian Herrin)

Woa Nessy!!! The mythical Loch Ness Monster is real??? And obsessed with a very particular form of hip-hop dancing?!?!? Nessy, I know it must be lonely, but trust me this Ian Herrin guy is not going to be the one to help replace the hole in your heart Left Behind by your brother! Don't trust any painful tea he might offer! You deserve to look yourself in the mirror and not be reminded of a former child star whose last name is synonymous with monster!

Ah, you must know all the good OnlyFans pages, cause you certainly knew how to find the best part of this episode description! The part where I get to tell you about the wonderful improviser and podcaster Nic Rockwell!

Webster A. Boob has been sent by his parents to see a therapist to help him overcome the obvious obstacles he faces within his loving romantic relationship. But because they've unfortunately employed the services of that real Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin, Webster is much less inclined to get the real help he needs. Don't listen to how Ian defines sex or really any of the other dumb things he says, Webster! I can't say you're thriving on your own, but you certainly would be better without this advice!

Ah, your parents must approve of your relationship because you've found the best part of the episode description!

You can also take a class with Jonathan through IO theater!

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? 

https://twitter.com/ItsTimJames

Yet another parole ordered client Rob Picchiotti arrives in the office space still fuming that Aaron Judge considered playing for a team besides the Yankees in free agency. And somehow the the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin wants to blame the concept of masculinity in general and let Rob off the hook for his road rage incident?? Don't listen to Ian, Rob! I guarantee you the way he defines women in contrast to men is just not accurate and will backfire! You don't want to end up like Charlie from Two and a Half Man Show!

Ah, you must be one of those discerning audience members that always catches the Joe Pesci reference in Jersey Boys to have found this, the best part of the episode description!

Bingey St. Darlin' has a very unique dating life that up until this point has been successfully kept a secret. And if there's one person that's always unqualified to give relationship advice of any kind, it's that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin. Be very careful of whom you take home from a dance club late at night! You never know who her mother might be!

Dr. Tumbridge Diddlebottom's HR issues follow him everywhere he goes, especially when he's in an orchid. And yet, somehow he finds a way to manage being a nearly fully gruntled man. Not that this real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is going to be able to help him much. Ian's obsession with fame and problematic relationship with his English grandmother are almost assuredly going to take over the conversation. Don't listen to this episode, Ian's mom! And listen to those nice HR people more, Dr. Diddlebottom! 

Mmmmmmmm cooookie, you may be a cultural appropriator, but you also found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the genius performer, writer, director, and improviser Shem Pennant! Make sure you follow Shem on Instagram @myshowcalledlife and on Twitter @each1teach1

Child leash enthusiast Joseph Jacob seems to be aware at least on some levels that that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is a problematic, sexually deviant manipulator. And yet, it is almost like Joseph wants to become Ian's prodigy and learn his ways? I mean, I guess it makes sense that a guy who wants to leash children for "safety" and to ultimately give them more "freedom" would want to learn how to manipulate his friends better, but still, in the long run, working with Ian will only damage your psyche and ruin your soul! DO NOT PLAY his REINDEER GAMES!!!

Ah, you must feel safe to explore the most interesting part of the episode description from the comfort of your leash! And so lucky you, you get to hear about the wonderfully funny improviser Jake Joseph. Be sure you follow Jake on Instagram @f00lish_b0y and check out his show Late Night with the Foolish Boy monthly at the PIT and every Thursday you can even jump on stage with Jake 530-630 at the PIT's Rush Hour Jam!

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.....

Hmmmmmm, was just thinking about how wonderful Doug Jow is.... @dougjow wherever you social media

Poor Harold Pike seems like he struggles in relationships. More importantly, he truly believes that he has just pissed off a bunch of Greek Gods by being so irresistibly sexy that he incidentally seduced many of them without considering how the others might get jealous. But would a flunking Latin student like the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is really be the right fit to help Harold out? Or is this session yet another excuse for Ian to be manipulative and talk about sex in as crass a manner as he possibly can? Don't listen to him, Harold!! The bus is a really convenient way to get around and you seem like a nice man that doesn't need to get involved in Ian's web of lies!!!!

Wow, you must be a god or goddess fresh from Olympus, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and comedian Wander Boesjes! Be sure you check out Wander's hit indie team Go Dummy and also follow both on Instagram @godummycomedy and @wanderaboesjes

MTA officer Mike Costanotzo suffered an "incident" that he's not all too fond of bringing up right away despite his captain's recommendation he go to therapy three or four times. But it's an endless feedback loop of trouble when a problematic officer like Mike meets up with a problematic therapist like that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin. Ian, therapy isn't like lawyers, you can actually call out some of this bad behavior if you think it's in the interest of public safety! Perhaps Mike shouldn't have the power to wield all the weapons he claims to have a right to have! And for God's sake, stop engaging him in sports talk as it's a clear distraction from his cop crimes!!

Ah, you're smart enough to never jump the turnstile, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser, writer, and comedian Alexis Pereira. Be sure you follow Alexis on Instagram @mralexispereira and check out Hamster & Grettel on Disney +!

Oh poor skater burnout dad, Ed! You really haven't had a lot of loving women in your life, have you? And you seem to be fully neglecting your two boys! Maybe your talent level at skating isn't good enough to justify your hobby? Of course, I could say the same about that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin and his little "therapy" hobby he's so obsessed with! All he does is talk about improv and commandeer the therapy to be about him, AGAIN! He brings up illicit drugs and sexual activity, AGAIN! Don't listen to this filth, moms of the world!!!

Ah, you must be cultured enough to know the name Steve Coogan because you've found the best part of the episode description! Well then let me now tell you of a name worth of the same recognition as Stevey Coogs, it's the one and only brilliant returning guest Brian Gurien! Be sure you check out Brian on Instagram @briangurien and over at briangurien.com

Poor little Damon Douglas just wants to be a good boy for the people in his life but seems to be suffering deep forms of anxiety and codependency. You'd think a helpless little guy like Damon would be helped and treated by his therapist, but somehow Ian Fucking-Sigmund-Fraud Herrin inserts himself and his issues YET AGAIN into another session and appears Hell bent on using Damon like a piece of hay to get anything and everything he wants. You need to be working on your independence away from Ian and your wife Lianne, Damon! You can't metaphorically sit on your hands forever! Also, your smoking problem seems secondary and if you had real support systems in your life, kicking that dirty habit would likely be a breeze!

 Ah, you must be a person of class that can afford to live on the UWS facing Central Park, because you've found the best real estate this episode description has to offer!

Tara Leroy is struggling with her assertiveness when standing up to other people, so much so that her boss still thinks her name is "Kara", which it isn't and never has been. And wouldn't you know, the office stray dog seems to be even more of a helpful resource than Ian in actually helping her make tangible steps towards achieving her goals. Real strength comes from within, Tara! Believe in yourself and not a stoolie informant to the police and parents like Ian! You don't actually need to go to med school to become assertive!!

Ah, you must be someone that has no problem standing up to their boss because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Be sure you follow John on Instagram @handsomeguyontheinternet and see his Boogie Manja sketch team Both Hands at their next live show Wednesday January 17th at 730pm at the People's Improv Theater.

Peter Dammond is a main experiencing blackouts and lost time. This can be a very dangerous life circumstance to navigate, but perhaps even more dangerous is choosing that real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin to try and resolve this sensitive issue! Anybody would be a better therapist than he is!! Especially Miami Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra!

Ah, you seem like someone with a disciplined control over your inner demon, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about my wonderful friend the hilarious actor, writer and performer Brian Gurien! You can catch Brian performing with @offqcomedy and Brian is also appearing as an iconic horror villain in The Bite Sized Theatrical Spooktacular this Thursday Halloween night at 7:30!

A young nubile time traveling German boy like Fritz Von Trap deserves better therapy than that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is capable of giving. What could've been a delicate conversation about blooming male sexuality instead quickly becomes about porn and butt plugs. Fritz, think of Ian as the Wig Man in the Wig Shack and STAY AWAY!!!

Guten Tag! You must have adapted well from your time travel because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the phenomenally talented comedian and improviser Will Jacobs. Be sure you catch Will's miniseries Olympus: A Retrospective on Youtube and follow Will on Instagram @sadwilliam_

Eeeek, a mouse!! Mice don't need therapy do they? And if they did, they certainly shouldn't get treatment from that 50's greaser shrink Ian Herrin. Even having your arm snapped off in a peanut butter trap has got to be better than some of the advice this wacko gives out! Petey is a father with 17 kids to be worrying about, but of course all Ian does it make it about sex... AGAIN. Good luck to ya, Petey! At least you can blend in anywhere you go with your skill for accents.

Hey, you! Down here!! I want to tell you all about the incredible comedian Kate Sisk! You can follow Kate on Twitter and Insta @thekatesisk and be sure to check out Kate's drag show The Luke Ass Spectacular Thursday May 26th 10pm at Union Hall. Link for tix:

Holey Toledo, a real life time-traveling super villain in therapy??? Even though I like Darq Qloud's physical abuse of the terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin, I do wish he would seek professional mental health at a higher standard than Ian is capable of giving. Ian's desperation for friendship really shines through in this session, as do Darq's obvious mommy issues. Future orphans if you're reading this, get out of the orphanage because there's a friggin' TIME BOMB!!!!!

Congrats! Because exactly one skyscraper below the main episode description is the best part of the episode description, and YOU found it! This is the part where I get to sing the praises of my wonderfully funny and talented friend and returning guest Jerry Burgos. Be sure you follow Jerry on Instagram @jmburgos2

This can't be real?? A Nightmare Clown that embodies the fears of children?!? A literal friggin' demon!?! Well it certainly doesn't have a chance of getting its existence back on track if it's going to Ian Herrin for therapy! That's the one demon even darker and scarier than it is!! Not everyone is cut out to be a Toxic Avenger! For goodness sake, these two are even struggling to remember basic superhero names! Although Oopsie Poopsie does have some impressive Hancock knowledge oddly enough...

Ah, you seem like a person who has conquered their childhood fears because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and performer Nick Pearl. Be sure you follow Nick on Instagram @nickpearl9119 and find his hit indie team the '96 Bulls at BCC's Fun & Dumb Festival Saturday July 8th 1:45pm

Self-described tech She.E.O./Girl Boss Lisa Fuller is so busy she only has time for therapy on Thanksgiving Day. But does she have any idea what kind of anxiety is brought out in Ian on a day he decided to cook a full meal for his beloved mom?? Ian's clearly not in a healthy place if he shouts your son's name, Lisa! Go back to your Yoga and physical therapy cause Ian's the real quack! Stephen sounds like a lovely husband, although the circumstances of your marriage are quite problematic and should be worked out with a real therapist. And maybe, Lisa, a real therapist could also help you support women more than just by extension?? 

Well looks who's smarter than a 12 year old boy! You found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful comedian and performer Emily Anderson. Be sure you check out Emily's indie team Pie Town, especially their monthly variety show at The People's Improv Theater, all of which is plugged on their Instagram @pietown.nyc. And while you're at it, give Emily a follow @emilymands

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)   

NBA conspiracy theorist Terry Bathwater wants to blame Adam Silver for everything. And by going to a non-professional amateur hour poor excuse for a therapist like the Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin, he's likely not going to break his bad habits anytime soon. Is this even a therapy session or just an extended conversation about Memphis and barbecue??? Sounds like both these boys need to calm down and maybe not watch basketball if it's going to upset them so much. Plus, why did Ian pull out a calculator and start doing math?? Like, no patient ever wants to forcibly fall asleep because math is happening, but apparently Ian didn't get the memo.

Ah, now you must be a refined bbq connoisseur that would never go to Corky's, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser, writer, and comedian Marshall Stratton! Be sure you follow Marshall @marshallstratto and check him out in the new year playing with @improvwoodstock. Oh and GO GRIZZ!!

Regional manager of a Bed, Bath, and Beyond Henry Edwards has had it up to here with his ungrateful employees. But rather than examining whether or not he might be the problem, don't you know that selfish Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is immediately ready to blame Henry's employees and let the boss off the hook. And wouldn't you know the conversation turns to plotting violence again awful quick??

Ah, you must be someone who "gets it" because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful podcaster, improviser, and comedian James Quesada. Be sure you follow James @jamesqyou and also check out https://www.soundsfunny.pizza/

The midwestern soccer mom Cookie Baker is not all she appears to be. It actually makes a lot of sense why someone like her would need therapy, but what makes positively no sense at all is why this wackadoo Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is indulging her inappropriate behavior. Your family is built on a lie, Cookie! There is no Rashomon scenario in which you are the good person! 

Well you must be a good person that knows how to protect their son, cause you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser, comedian, and host Mark Said. You can catch Mark at shows all over New York and online, including at Armory Barracks jams and events. If you bump into Mark, ask him more about his fostering of dogs and what you can do to help!  

Jazz Swelltet is a psychopathic rage filled murdering stepfather with a Denim obsession from Rhode Island. But does the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin hold Jazz accountable for any murdering at all? No. Of course he doesn't. Instead he's once again laser focused on his own romantic interests and references to Broadway musicals. And what Ms. Swelltet is doing behind and in front of Jazz's back is truly obscene, even for a private therapeutic consultation. If only they had spoken more in Scottish accents so we wouldn't have to understand the dumb dumb things that they say!

Ah, now you seem like a passenger worthy of a pleasure cruise, so come on down to the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the phenomenally talented actor and improviser Brian Morabito! Be sure you follow Brian on Instagram @⁠morathanenough⁠ and catch his monthly show And Scene at Caveat

The droopy dog energy Doug Lafontane joins Ian in the office to discuss his dismay over not being invited to his neighbor's 4th of July barbecue. If only someone could help Doug realize he's too concerned with safety and not nearly outgoing and friendly enough to accomplish his goals, however, Ian is far from that person. Instead Ian distracts with yet another tale of Selena Gomez, a unique approach to moisturizing, and merciless barbs at Doug's physical appearance. Get out of there, Doug!!!

Today's guest was very reminiscent of the wonderfully talented Rod O'Toole, wasn't he?? Rod and Ian both humbly ask that you consider donating to https://abortionfunds.org/ 

You can follow Rod on Instagram @roderickotoole and you can see Rod and Ian with Drop Your Socks Thursday August 4th at 8:30pm at The PIT

Ingrid Solo wants to defy her name and finally be a part of a dynamic duo; the peanut butter to her jelly, the Thelma to her Louise,  the 11 pilots to her 10 pilots. And wouldn't you know that jealous Fraud  of a therapist Ian Herrin somehow thinks he could be a part of Ingrid's duo, so long as Ian's priorities come first. Don't take his advice, Ingrid! A baguette is not the ideal bread for peanut butter! Not to  mention his other suggestion, albeit based on a famous novel, is a CRIME! He's not the cool guy he pretends to be and you need to find  someone healthier to bounce off of!!

Ahhh,  you must be a discerning member of the Rebel alliance! Did Hans send you? Regardless, it takes a keen eye like yours to find this, the best part of the episode description.

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!

Andy Spector isn't looking for therapy as much as he's looking for a good hang. But that's not what therapy's for! Although to Andy's credit, when your therapist is that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin, it make sense that one might perceive Ian as more of a friend than a therapeutic mental health professional. Drinking in therapy is NOT APPROPRIATE. Everyone gets drunk even if they say they don't! And for the love of all things holy, let us all pray that Ian never meets Andy's cat CJ irl...

Crack open a beer, friend, cause you just found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you about the wonderful improviser and comedian coincidentally also named Andy Spector!! Check out Andy's Apology Show Wednesday June 7th 8pm Starr Bar in Bushwick or follow @apologyshow on Instagram for all of Andy's updates including shows with his hit indie team Barber!

Wait, what the actual fuck??? That Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin is in therapy himself and sees his therapist only once a year?? And it's the friggin' almighty supernatural being Santa Clause?!?!?!? How dare Ian make Santa do this!!! And of all days, he chooses the most sacred of holidays, BOXING DAY! You don't have to do this, Santa!! Clearly not all naughty children are capable of the introspection required for personal growth, especially if they refuse to shower properly!!! 

Ho Ho Ho! You are clearly a very intelligent little boy, girl, or nonbinary friend because you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you the magic of Santa at Christmas time can only be brought to life by truly one of my dearest friends, John Shepard, @handsomeguyontheinternet on all social media. If you met another Santa in the past that was not John Shepard, I'm sorry to say you encountered an imposter. The real Santa does indie comedy shows in a backyard in Williamsburg, you dig? #ShepYard #Santa #ThanksJohnILoveYou

Southern nice guy Rodney and all his nicknames arrive in a whirlwind to see quite possibly the worst therapist of all time. It sounds to me Rodmeister that you already have several of your own healthy techniques to reduce the anger in your life! You certainly shouldn't consider the truly bizarre whims of that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin! And would somebody please get that poor doggo out of there?!? He didn't ask to be a part of that very specific reenactment of that one Hitchcock movie!! Your stomach hurts cause you know it's not right!

Ah, you must have that F-150 energy, cause you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I sing the praises of improviser and drummer Shareef Taher! You can follow Shareef on Instagram @shareeftaherdrums and also be sure to check out his weekly Friday night PIT show with The New Roommates. And don't forget, his indie team Pie Town is also on Insta and has a ton of shows coming up, @pietown.nyc

Big Boys Don't Cry legend J.P. Frozee discusses exile from his former boy band with former improviser turned C.T.W.R.O.S. therapist Ian Herrin. Ian could've pointed out multiple problematic relationships in J.P.'s life and helped him come to understand the many traumas he endured in his post-puberty years, but what does Ian do instead? Make things worse, I fear. Listen for yourselves to help me throw shade at Ian's therapeutic skills by subscribing and leaving us a nice review!

P.S. Ali Gordon is an incredible improviser from Rumpleteaser whom you can follow on Twitter @msalicenutting and you can also hear on the Cracked Movie Club podcast available in video form on Youtube. Check out Ali's projects wherever and whenever you can!!

Bruce, turn around!! Ian is a toxic therapist and your dynamic is wildly unhealthy! I know you're a robot trying desperately to become human but this oversexed weirdo of a shrink literally colors in his coloring book instead of trying to listen or help you with your issues. Not even a nationalist former AOL disk deserves the fate of Ian's "creative" form of treatment! RUN AWAY!!!

Bing bong! Bing bong! Have you heard the good word about the fantastically talented improviser and comedian Brandon Zelman?? Ya simply gotta follow him on Twitter @brandonzelman and on Instagram @whosethatpokemonpod

Pig farmer Dunch Baggins has a wild accusation as to what has happened to his missing wife. But with a real Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin for a therapist, will Dunch even be able to get to his theory, or will he be forced to hear full recaps of a Ron White standup bit?? Maybe if Ian wasn't so comedy obsessed he'd realize Dunch needs actual help and not the latest gossip on Hasan Minhaj's exaggerations. As is, the reveal as to what's really going on with Dunch's podcast is WAY crazy and takes WAY too long to get to and was probably worth unpacking the whole time Ian was yet again going off on tangents!!

Ah, now you must be a high end comedy connoisseur familiar with the work of the Blue Collar Comedy tour, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to shout out the wonderful actor and improviser David Greenslade! Be sure you catch David sitting in with Woodstock and performing around NYC!

Reece Fine would by all accounts seem to be just fine! Reece is wonderfully engaged with the world around him and seems to be well off financially thanks to a fulfilling career doing something he loves. And yet, Ian seems intent on digging and prying himself into negativity. Not even the fun accoutrements around the office distract from Ian giving perverse solution after perverse solution for something that may not have been that big of a problem to begin with...

For those who find themselves in the fun part of the episode description, please enjoy and support the wonderful comedy of DImo, Jon Dimakopoulos @jondimakopoulos. Oh and if you're reading this the day of its release, both Ian and Dimo are in a show tonight at 9pm at Under St. Marks via Squirrel Comedy, Too Close For Comfort! Tix and streaming link available here: https://www.frigid.nyc/event/6897:115/

Well now this is a doozie! Apparently this patient thinks they are an assistant coach for the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder and also the nephew of coaching legend Doc Rivers. If Ian was a good therapist, he'd realize fairly quickly that none of this is true and it's all a grand delusion of whomever this mystery guest really is. Ian doesn't exactly do a great job of avoiding Ronnie's conversational traps to discuss hot button issues nor does Ian actually help the fictitious person Ronnie claims to be by fairly unpacking without a hometown bias the very real Memphis Grizzlies record setting margin of victory win against the OKC Thunder from December 2nd, 2021. 

Can't imagine why this would be important, but you know a number of podcasts have guests on their show that choose to remain anonymous publicly. So in the proud tradition of a Bug Mane, Siggy Fraud fondly presents ??? 

Heiress to the midday mealtime fortune Cindy Lunch is still reeling from the death of her father when her friends wrongfully encouraged her to try Ian out as a therapist. Cindy has real identity issues that no amount of time in the water or chunky jewelry could ever work out. Perhaps living in the big, big, big city has somewhat warped her perspective, but how would she ever be able to figure that out with Sigmund Fraud opposite her babbling away about the usual SNL sketches and loose animal eyeballs. GET OFF THE BUS, CINDY! RUN AWAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!

Annnnnd, that's lunch! Oh and on your lunch break please remember the best part of the episode description is always down here and that's especially true today cause I get to tell you the wonderful news that you can follow the happenings of comedian and improviser Casey McCormick on Instagram and Twitter @itsmecaseymc

Bill Clinton (not that one) is having issues with erectile dysfunction. And for some reason, this is the patient that real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin decides he's willing to leave the confines of his office space to conduct a house call?!? Bill, it is not normal for a therapist to spend half the session remarking upon things in your private home! And also, you sound like maybe you have a real medical issue that is beyond the bounds of mental health! Ian will not help you he will only lead you to seedier and seedier topics!!

Alright, alright, alright look who went the full McConaughey and found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the actor, director, improviser, magician, mr.-do-everything that is my dear friend Jerry Burgos!!! You can catch Jerry playing with his Boogie Manja sketch team The Right Stuff monthly on Wednesdays at the People's Improv Theater!

Derek arrives to Ian's office quoting Jeff Bridges after having gotten plastic surgery to look exactly like James Bond actor Roger Moore in a sign he's clearly a very confused and troubled young man. Even if no other therapist will see Derek, does he really deserved the treatment of a UCB weekend team GOAT reject like this Sigmund Fraud proves to be? Maybe if Derek was getting really good advice, he would suck it up and move to LA like all his other friends....

Not just my opinion, man, but this is the best part of the episode description cause you get to hear about the wonderful Colby Smith of the Honey Baby Sweetie Love Podcast! Be sure to check out HBSL LIVE 7pm June 25th at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective! And you can follow Colby on Instagram @colbabouttown and on Twitter @colbyjsmith

A Long Long Time Ago, At A College Far Far Away....

FRAT WARS

Non-traditional college student Han Solo Cup is a 30 year old smuggler pledging fraternities for the first time. His current options include the geeky, freaky Rebel Alliance and the rich, fascist Empire. Both throw raging parties, so Han is very confused. So he decides to seek out a Creative Thinking Office Renter in the swamps of New York City for "non-traditional" therapy. But is this former UCB guy Ian Herrin's therapy more Sigmund Fraud than Sigmund Freud? (Yes. It always is. He sucks at his job and needs to be stopped.)

Bryce is a middle manger at a start-up who has a last name, but as his chosen family is two accountants, he doesn't always share it freely. Clearly Bryce would have a lot to discuss with a real therapist, but instead by choosing to see a Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin, Bryce seems condemned to a life of constantly questioning if he's good enough or has any real friends. Keep talking to that person who could be your new commuting buddy, Bryce! And maybe find a bit more work life balance so that COAs, APIs, users, and all that junky tech startup stuff become but a distant memory of who he used to be, how he used to be, when he used to be that person, where that person used to be......

Ah, now you must be management material, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and comedian Adrian "Frimmy" Frimpong! Be sure you follow Frimmy on Insta @frimmydotcom and also his show @the100percentshow

You'd think the 900 year old being Lucky Fella Got Umbrella would have enough wisdom to not go see Ian as a therapist, and yet here we are! Still riding the high of having tried sausage pizza for the first time, Lucky Fella arrives in the office space still finding himself struggling with Classic Bicentennial Man Syndrome while he tries to channel his inner Tina from Bob's Burgers. The worst two things Ian bring up at this point would be a Top 5 sad traumas list and politics, and if you know our Fraud, he never fails to be the worst! This episode is NOT Dope Lemon sponsored content.

You must've wished upon a star, because this is the best part of the episode description where I get to sing the praises of the tremendously talented comedian Andy Vega! You can follow Andy on social media @andymvega 

Matsuyama is a samurai who deliberately curbs his sexual desires in order to access his full and often violent powers. But if he thinks that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is gonna do anything productive to help him think about sex less, he is quite literally sorely mistaken! Not to mention I'm not even sure if Ian has a baseline understanding of the male reproductive system? What would your chat friend Batman say, Matsuyama?? Get out of there and don't give up your powers!!!

Ahh, you must have just the right amount of sexual satisfaction because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Jon Lu!! Be sure you follow Jon and his teams on Insta @insuranceinsurancecomedy @improvised_dnd @jonothonlu

Poor poor Tannery Brooke must have been too busy gallivanting off at a pub somewhere to remember his therapy appointment with the worst therapist in the world, Ian Herrin, but instead, a very insane man from the future that shares his name with a whiskey, Tullamore Dew storms into the office proclaiming only he can save humanity. Why are human beings forced underground and what has happened to the Earth under it's bizarre new leadership? Even if Tullamore does know he's unlikely to share his secrets with someone as historically challenged and, quite frankly, violent and stupid as Ian. Two idiots who deserve each other. Their animosity is... almost... sweet?

Ah, looks like your time lag has worn off, because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Be sure you follow John on Insta @handsomeguyontheinternet and stay tuned for updates on another Shep Yard coming to Williamsburg in 2023!!

Coming to you twice a week starting in January 2022!

Another filthy Christmas therapy spectacular with Santa turning the tables to provide his annual therapeutic advice proves once again Ian Herrin should not only not be touched with a ten and a half foot pole but is also a real Sigmund Fraud. Santa's drug use certainly doesn't help keep things on the rails as he issues truly awful advice to his apparent frenemy. Put him on your naughty list, Santa!!

Ho Ho Ho, Merry (Belated) Christmas, and you've found the best part of the episode description!

Be sure you follow John and his hands @handsomeguyontheinternet and @bothhandscomedy

Lady Ruth Brookwillow insists on being called Brooke despite that not at all being her name. But at least she GETS IT and puts her absolutely terrible therapist Ian Herrin in his place immediately and repeatedly. Brooke doesn't have grief! She's merely the distinguished heiress to a French butter fortune ordered to therapy by her team of lawyers after her husband accidentally Humpty Dumpty-ied himself. Although would you believe this is yet another session working more on Ian than Ian's patient?? Believe it, and it's horrifying as per usu.

Ah, I've tricked you into finding the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to brag about the wonderful comedian, writer, singer, improviser, and actor Florence Friebe!! Be sure you subscribe to Flo's new podcast Sounds Funny Radio at www.soundsfunny.pizza, catch The Joy Fuck Club play with Asian AF in NYC or in Baltimore for AAPI month, check out the Shame Show at Young Ethel's the last Thursday of the month, and finally, of course you gotta follow her on Instagram @florencekf for updates on all of these wonderful things!!!

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.

Are you looking at me? Or are you maybe looking at the tremendously talented Melissa Ulloa, @mustbemelissaulloa who you can catch on sporadic Thursdays with Big Whoop over at Magnet Theater

Oh no, another actor who can't differentiate reality from the television show he works on?? And one that is friends with Sir Patrick Stewart no less??? BEN (or whatever your real name is!)! Get out of there!! Ian is not the guy to ground anybody in any kind of reality! Remember New Orleans! Remember Rutgers! Remember Rob Kardashian's vehicle!!

Ah, you could get used to this! And by "this" I mean the best part of the episode description where I tell you all about the phenomenally talented improviser and podcaster Vince White!

Nepograndbaby Alan Thomas has a terrible diet and misguided career goals. And wouldn't you know, by visiting a real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin, he's only more likely to become a more violent danger that the government feels the need to keep an eye on. Some food items just don't mix well together! And not all TV stars are nice people you'd want to be friends with like their characters!

Ah, you must have a card that gets you all of your favorite things, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and comedian Chris McDonald and his tremendous new narrative comedy podcast Cole Steele: Private Eye! You can follow both on Instagram @chris.mcdonald46 and @colesteelepod

Frankie is a slightly susceptible guy just checking in from his tour in New Orleans to talk about his indigestion, but something more sinister seems to be going on. Something so dark that the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin will likely never be able to control. You need professional help, Frankie! It was more than just a meatball sub! And I'm pretty sure Ian stole at least $10 from you!!

Amen, you must be a sacred lamb indeed because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and comedian Xave Padin!!

Heir to the Blockbuster franchise Mallory Von Blockbuster may have squandered away all of her family's money, but I'll be damned if that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin will have anything productive to say to help her realize such a thing! It's much more likely Ian will instead brag about taking Latin in high school out of nowhere or want to play around with his prop microphone. Normally I'd tell you not to be so violent with therapists, Mallory, but in this case, let him have it!! Right in the craw!!!! 

Woah, you must bench press like well over 100ibs, because you just found the strongest part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Murphy Baker! Follow Murphy and her popular indie team Pie Town on Instagram @murphbaker and @pietown.nyc

Do Jack Jones's friends skew a little on the older side? Sure. But with all due respect to Jack's ex-girlfriend/ex-nanny is that a problem he really needs therapy for? At the very least, Jack, don't go see that total Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin! He can't even do basic division and multiplication from what I've heard! He'll probably just reach some bizarre conclusion that you should immigrate or become infrastructure, and all you really need Jack is to be seen, validated, and loved! If only Jack was a reddit post, he'd be swimming in those sweet sweet upvotes... RIP Pearl Harbor

Hey you! Get off my lawn!! But before you do, let me also shout at you the name of an uber talented hard working comedian Andrew Barlow. You can follow Andrew on social media @sirbizlow and don't forget Barlow will also be appearing with Big Apartment in a sketch show this Saturday 7/30 at The People's Improv Theater (PIT) at 7pm in addition to a show featuring a cavalcade of improv stars (and Ian sadly...) Thursday August 4th at 8:30 also at the PIT

Struggling self help guru and author of the Wake Up! series Dr. Grace must feel like she's looking in a mirror staring back at that real Sigmund Fraud Ian. Both are obsessed with celebrities, have borderline made-up credentials, and love yelling at young people what they are doing wrong. This session with these two blowhards chugalugalugalugs along with no actually decent mental health tips in sight! Truly a conversation that is all Dr. Phil's mustache but not enough Dr. Phil prime! Use that private jet of your "friend" Dr. Grace and make sure you fly far far away from Ian and his Office Space!!

*Snort* Ah, the cool people! Welcome! Don't worry, no one knows we're here, and also let me tell you, the comedian Rachel Chada is phenomenally talented and you can follow her on social media @rachelchada and her legendarily well-named TikTok @hiddenvalley.ranchel

Gary Whiel is a happy go lucky wanderlust spirit still grieving the end of his celebrity relationship. But if there's one therapist on Earth bad at processing breakups, it's gotta be the most fruadest therapist there is, Ian Herrin. You know you can't open up about one of your traumas from a past college experience Gary, because Ian will never let you stop unpacking every disgusting detail! Also, your last name is lovely and spelled appropriately despite what Ian says! Call me crazy, but I'd even go as far as to say maybe drones shouldn't be used in mental health settings??

Looks like you're seeing things from a new and better perspective because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Pie Town has a new residency at the Player's Theater so be sure you don't miss there next one Saturday June 10th 9:30pm

102 year old Betsy always makes the best of her life with the exception in her choice of therapist. Betsy has seen just about everything living on 110th street in New York all these years, including a surprisingly large number of anthropomorphic animals. Ian seems intent on making her depressed and himself sexy instead of actually trying to learn something important about the history all around him.

Hey, you! Down here for the good stuff! Be sure to follow Julie Kann @julie_kann on Twitter and @joolaylay1 on Insta. Oh and shout out to John Tant, Ian's real life Granddad who turned 101 today!! And that's not a bit!!! He fought against Hitler and voted against Trump as he likes to say!

Davey Bo Davey is a junior software engineer whose a little down on himself after having been passed over for a promotion by his very demanding boss yet again. And wouldn't you know, by seeing that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin as a therapist, he's only going to make it worse on himself? Maybe accessing your inner boss toddler isn't always a good thing! If HR doesn't get along with you, perhaps going to war isn't the best idea! And no matter what you do, NEVER make your role model a friggin' DJ!!!

Bro, you're someone who clearly has just the right amount of self-esteem because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Tykel Phelps has a very particular job that's become increasingly stressful, but it's a very babyish decision at best to think seeing the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist known as Ian Herrin would help with anything! No no, instead Ian this week seems keen to play his body as a musical instrument, miss out on some basic observations about his new client, and reaches to assume Tykel has several celebrity relatives based on flimsy evidence at best. Get out of their, Tykel, before Ian has you start crying for real and not just for work!

Ah, now you must know all the good words because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the fantastically funny Ryan Barker!

Cancer researcher and first time pot smoker John Divakopoulos catches a ride into the office space this week to have that terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin serve as a spiritual guide for his first marijuana experience. And wouldn't you know, instead of being helpful, Ian mostly just wants to talk about the Spiderman video game?? Weed shouldn't cause this many mood swings, John! You're having a bad trip because Ian is bad at his job and not the weed! Don't get the wrong takeaway message from Of Mice and Men!!

Ah, now you must be a real good friend like George, because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Afghan translator and American hero Amir Baba Rahim Khan Ali Taheri Hassan is still struggling to obtain citizenship. And certainly in this gig economy, Amir could benefit from a good therapist! Unfortunately, Amir goes to that real Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin instead. And would you believe once again, Ian behaves inappropriately? I mean, how many times does this guy need to be an overly sexualized goofball before people realize he's a hack?? Get out of there, Amir! You deserve better!!

Ah, you're clearly no Wile E. Coyote, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful actor and improviser Fawad Siddiqui. Be sure you follow Fawad @fawad_means_he.art, catch him teaching and performing through @shortroundimprov, and lastly you can see Fawad on the national tour of the Kite Runner through June.

Poor Amelia "Larkin" is perhaps the most aghast patient yet as she lets Ian stew in his own stupidity over and over again. It's really nuts how little Ian listens to her and how much he feels the need to instead constantly mansplain history and science. I hope Amelia and Chelsea can overcome this asshole and his terrible advice (wink). 

Good show old chap, you've made it to the most interesting part of the episode description! The part where I talk about how wonderful Adaire Kamen is! Better yet, follow her @adairekamen on Insta and @TruthAdaire on Twitter and find out for yourself!

Gertrude Gertrude is a celebrity dog walker struggling with stress in her life. But if there was ever a therapist that would add to stress, it's got to be that Sigmund Fraud of a shrink Ian Herrin. Perhaps not all problems require quick, creative solutions? And Ian definitely doesn't have his plane analogies down. Get out of their, Gertrude! Don't let him charge you a 15x rate!!

Ah, now you have all the power of the Hook, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the tremendously talented actor, improviser, and teacher Sam Evans. You can follow Sam on Instagram @saaamevans

The woman behind the person behind XOXO Gossip Girl is none other than the very stressed ghost writer Beatrice Clarc. Without access to her local coffee shop, how can Beatrice be expected to get any work done? Speaking of not getting work done, the sleep depraved C.T.W.R.O.S. himself once again seems on the lookout for fast and easy solutions for his clients without any consideration of real world consequences. Get out of there, Beatrice! Recognize the red flags and don't come back!!

You might have noticed there's interesting stuff in the first part of the description, but the REAL interesting stuff is ALWAYS down here. This week's no exception cause I get to tell ya to follow the wonderful comedian Sylvie Borschel @hellosylv on Twitter and @sylvz on Instagram

Hank Mug is an insomniac struggling with being overly self-reliant. And yet, first thing he does is ask that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist of his if he can mooch an energy drink out of the mini-fridge. Don't be sucked in by all the pomp and circumstance of the Office Space, Hank! Ian will probably just talking about his failed dating life again. You need to address the impracticality of your sleeping arrangement if you ever want to realistically get some shut eye!!

Ah, all your eye floaters must've cleared up, because you found the best part of the episode description! The part all about how wonderfully talented and hilarious the improviser Ben Hirsch is! Follow Ben on Instagram @tagonist42 and check out his wonderful indie team Pie Town @pietown.nyc 

Green alien and a superior being well trained in martial arts Piccolo arrives in Ian's office space after having left a hole in his roof in his last session. And yet, as weird of an entity as Piccolo seems to be, it's not at all a surprise that Ian is like, way weirder right? If Ian is an example of humanity, maybe Piccolo should consider ending the universe!

Ah, you must be capable of finding all seven Dragon Balls, because you've also found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you about the tremendously talented improviser and podcast host Vince White of the Kame House Party podcast and Shonen Chumps series of live shows and podcast.

Sherri seems to be struggling with an extreme form of OCD centered around recipe books. And perhaps some lingering postpartum depression from her vaginal birth. But the dillweed of a therapist known as Ian won't be of much help to her in tackling these demons will he? To the contrary, Ian seems intent to pile more and more of a load on top of Sherri's burden. Masturbation and love are NOT the same thing Ian!

Just between us, have you followed the tremendous improviser and comedian Carolyn Egan on the social meds yet?? Treat yourself and do it! @carolyneegs

Before you jump to conclusions on your Jump to Conclusions Mat, you should know Clintoc Beppers isn't all he purports himself to be. And even so, he deserves better mental health treatment that the Sigmund Fraud he gets in the form of ex-improviser Ian Herrin. Ian is much less likely to help Clintoc with his lady troubles and instead much more likely to date his identically-sounding mom. Be careful, Clintoc, or you'll burn your own mouth!! 

Congratulations! You've found the coveted "Red Stapler" section of the episode description where I get to tell you all about the fabulous comedian Nic Rockwell! Be sure to follow Nic on Instagram @norwegian_thunder_butt and be sure to check out his website nicrockwell.com

Cultural Emissary to Indian culture Ashok Srinivasan has lived through some challenging times in his life, including one full week of unemployment. Ashok doesn't always feel like people see what he's like on the inside, but he's sorely mistaken if he thinks this Ian guy is going to be able to provide anything helpful in a therapy session to help him process his identity and how he's perceived. Quite clearly, all Ian is good for yet again is driving the conversation back to how great he is and networking in the entertainment industry. Ashok, you are so good with your words and your pen, don't let Ian cut you down with his terrible advice and sword!!

Ahhh, you must be like T-Swift an honorary doctor! For you have intelligently discovered the best part of the episode description, the part where you get to hear about the wonderful writer and performer Harsha Vardhan Dasarathy!

AM Radio personality Jack Knight explores the supernatural and extraterrestrial for a living, and yet he can't see through how terrible of a therapist Ian is?? Ian could've helped Jack to resolve major communication issues between him and his wife Diane, but instead Ian seems more keen to keep reworking a business venture he find himself heavily invested in...

Neither here nor there, but wowza is the comedian and improviser Aaron Shelton something else or what? You can hear Aaron weekly on the Kame House Party podcast and check out their brand new twitch stream! twitch.tv/kamehouseparty

Career juror Donna Crums has a lot going on in her life, but wouldn't you know dumb old Siggy Fraud Ian Herrin seems intent to make yet another session all about his life and his recent experimentation with self-severancing. The deep traumas Donna must have endured growing up the child of a sunflower might explain some of her binging tendencies that have led her into her current career predicament. Donna, please make it your #careergoal #lifegoal escaping Ian's office space and never coming back!! You can do so much better than him!!!! 

Oh hey little flower! You found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you how wonderful the comedian and improviser Alex Iona is!! Be sure you follow Alex on Insta and Twitter @alexandriaiona

Self-described protagonist Catherine St. Pickme steps into the real world seeking a solution to her love triangle, but somehow steps right into a love rhombus when terrible therapist Ian Herrin falls head over heels for her right away. There's no way it's ethical for Ian to be steering the session towards asking Catherine out like he does!

Ah, you must be a secret prince, because you've discovered the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the multitalented beautiful comedian and writer Alexandria Love! Be sure you follow Alexandria on Instagram @alexalexlovelove and subscribe to ger newsletter at substack.com/alexfromoakland

Tannery struggles deeply with his cultural identity and dating life. He could use professional advice from a clinically trained therapist. Instead, he gets Ian, whom today and most days is covered in barbecue sauce. Plus, a third lost soul may even make an appearance, not that Ian could help them much out either. I'm afraid not even a Rorschach test will be able to steer these two goofballs back on track. 

Unrelated, but comedian John Shepard can be followed on Instagram @handsomeguyontheinternet and you can see his live monthly show Larry & Licoln Linguinis Electric Variety Hour at Wonderville in Brooklyn whenever live shows are possible. 

And don't forget, Sigmund Fraud LIVE taping coming Monday February 28th 9pm at Under St. Marks via Squirrel Comedy!!

Big Ridge is a simple guy who only wants to talk about his dog Shelby. Kinda pure and sweet, right?? Well you know a Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin can't help himself and insists on digging deeper and deeper into lower depths of depravity too spicy to even attempt to recap in a public facing episode description. If only they stopped at Duke! LEAVE IT AT THE DOGS, IAN! DON'T MAKE IT CRUNCHY!!

Well looks like you made it crunchy after all?? Good news for you, cause that led to you finding the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about my magnificent friend, the brilliant improviser and performer Jacob Davis.

Leaves Bennet, an ice cream truck driver and mother to doggos Beverly Hills and Bill Clinton, is someone with very pressing issues she's hoping to discuss. But wouldn't you know it, the Sigmund Fraud known as Ian completely diverts the session yet again away from the serious problems weighing on Leaves's mind! Don't listen to Ian, Leaves, and practice letting go! Especially of shows backed up on your DVR! And you should probably know peeing in the same pod is not a NASA related metaphor at all! Don't send your dogs to therapy next week! Run away and never look back!!

Wow you must be as creative as Jim Carey to have found the best part of the episode description down here! Well lucky you, now you get to hear all about the multi-talented comedian and actress Samantha Jane Williams.

John Wick oddly seems like he's doing surprisingly well under the guidance of that terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin, but with show anxiety in the air, Ian finally seems like he's ready to reverse all of John's progress in one day. Lean in to your inner David Attenborough, John! That's the best side of you! Some improvisers can do sketch and some sketch performers can do improv and switching between the two is okay and even healthy sometimes! Don't let Ian coax you back into a life of violence no matter how cool or fun to watch it may seem!!

Ah, you must have all the skills of a highly trained assassin, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you about the phenomenally talented actor, improviser, and comedian Donald Chang!! Be sure you check out Donald hosting Asian AF in September and playing alongside Ian with Woodstock at IHIH this Sunday 9pm Magnet Theater and follow him on Instagram @donaldkchang

Poor Genevieve finds herself falling for cult after cult after cult. But little does she know, Ian's the worst type of cult leader of all; a friggin' improv coach!! Pyramid schemes are NOT a good deescalation from cults! Trust exercises should not be violent! BUF JR may work as a teaching technique for game in a UCB sense of things, but it should NOT be internalized and chanted!! GET OUT OF THERE AND GET THAT UNREALISTIC VERSION OF IAN OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!!!

Ah, you must have made a blood sacrifice because you have now proven yourself worthy of the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful Sarah Wingo of the improv team Pie Town and the Legends and Spirits podcast. Follow Sarah and Pie Town on Instagram @sarah_wingo_fitlife and @pietown.nyc 

Ya gotta feel bad for Peter Casey, the time traveler who just wants to makes friends but struggles with basic human interactions. But perhaps he's overthinking things. After all, in 12 attempts, it was the 6th that proved the most successful when Peter attempted to befriend the barista at his local coffee conglomerate. But a Sigmund Fraud like Ian is hardly the type of therapist you want to be turning to for advice on how to make friends...

Jackpot! You reached the part of the episode description all about the wonderful Patrick Cronin whom you can follow on all social media @rickcronin

Filmmaker Miranda Cross and her crew have a secret long since forgotten at the Holiday Inn Express, but clearly it still weighs heavily on her mind. But with a no good Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin on her case, Miranda seems like she's going to lean into some bad behaviors at Ian's behest. There are certain sins that are worth breaching therapist-patient confidentiality over and this most certainly should qualify!

Ah, now you must be a professional who can appreciate a good dolly shot, because you've found yourself on a smooth track to the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful actor, improviser, filmmaker, and professor Alexandra Spieth!

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. 

What's on my mind you ask? How kind of you! You know, there's three comedians I love to death that always make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. Their names are Jaime Lutz, Bill Schaefer, and Caitlin Sing and you can follow them @jaimelutz, @billdagawdd, and @caitsing on social media. Also, be sure to check out Bill's monthly Tuesday night standup show Quality Time over at Easy Lover and stay tuned for another live improv show featuring both Ian and Jaime coming up Monday April 4th at 9pm back at Under St. Marks via Squirrel Comedy.  

Fabio Fontanelli is a gonzo journalist that seemingly gets a little too deep into his undercover work. But with the terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin, will Fabio ever be able to understand that his footprint often detracts from the objectivity of the story he's trying to tell? Likely not, especially if Fabio insists on talking about his dreams and parents the whole time. Is the familial warfare between two competing ice cream truck syndicates in New York City really all that interesting of a story anyways??

Ah, you're clearly a master of disguises because you've covertly found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Michael Rosenberg! Be sure you catch Michael's hit indie team Barber performing all over NYC

Jack Kleenex is a man stuck in a time loop reliving the same day over and over again. But is it a time loop or is it Hell to have to see such a Sigmund Fraud of a therapist as Ian Herrin over and over and over again?? Is this the timeline where Ian is perhaps the dumbest and least helpful? It certainly feels like it! Who cares if your loop will end and your day will start over if you don't go see Ian, Jack, still DON'T GO!!!

Ah, now you must be smart enough to escape a time loop because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about how wonderful of an author, improviser, and teacher Christopher Drespel is!! If you ever can find Christopher Drespel content near you, you gotta treat yourself to the wonders of his mind!!!

Eccentric rich man Pickles Johannesberg is up to so many nefarious undertakings it's truly tricky to keep track of all the mischief afoot. And Ian Herrin is such a terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist he seems to act more as Pickles' accomplice than a guardian of mental health should. Children deserve to know who their father is and some Jimmy's deserve hats. And even if Pickles is a little Wario like, he probably doesn't want to hear it from someone he's trusting in a therapy setting. If you or a loved one encounter Pickles in the wild, run away before he dandelions!!

Let's A-Go, you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser, standup, and character performer April Sickler! Be sure you follow April on Instagram @asickler, check out April's team @improvised_dnd, and also her tremendously funny TikTok @aprilsick97

Oh poor Charles Bandacoot! Charles is clearly suffering from his sore swollen left foot. Not to mention his complicated family dynamic with his mother. Alas, Charles is about to discover he won't find the same healing powers of Citibank in Ian Herrin as a therapist. Rather than being able to diagnose a psychosomatic financially dependent, Ian instead appears to find a personal vendetta against Charles seemingly out of thin air.

P.S. How great is the wonderful comedian Jerry Burgos? He's the best, right? Follow him on Instagram @jmburgos2

Jean de Vil, daughter to Cruella, mostly just wants to talk about her nail salon. But wouldn't you know with Ian Herrin as her Sigmund Fraud of a therapist, Jean will almost definitely never get a chance to expound upon her love for her part time work! Instead would you believe Ian somehow steers the conversation towards his collegiate rivalry? And what about Jean's mysterious relationship with her celebrity father?? How's Jean ever supposed to get to the bottom of what's really going on with her if all Ian does is make her do tricks during meditation???

Mercury must be in retrograde because Ellipses has finally found her way back to that absolute Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin for another session! But alas, Ellipses you have to understand even though you don't want to kink shame, you can absolutely do better than to let this total Dexter looking murderous freak of a clitoris (ahem, I mean C.T.W.R.O.S.) tell you how to treat yourself when you're still recovering from a leprechaun encounter!! It is NOT okay for Ian to slide into your DMs or to Vader cosplay choke you. If you ever find a monkey's paw or claw, make sure you wish this face-loving freak never purports himself to be a therapist again.

A.I. come to life in the fraternity bro formerly known as Chad and younger brother of Chat, Chad GPT has a number on eccentric insecurities perhaps a real therapist could help him with if only he would stop getting cease and desists. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't send out a cease and desist of your own when you meet a therapist as awful as that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin! Ian yet again is obsessed with details, pop culture, and sex in a way that will likely never help Chad GPT to retain more information and improve its life. Plus, why do these two seem like they secretly just wanna talk about Memphis the whole time?? Talking about a city isn't therapy!!!

Be sure you follow Marshall on Instagram @marshallstratto and DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and check out the insanely hilarious and unique content Marshall creates through the official Sbarro TikTok account

Former member of the W. Bush White House and current assistant to Dracula, Sue (redacted) seems to have issues around people pleasing and troubles saying "no". Can you imagine a worse fit for a real Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin?? Ian is just bound to prevent Sue from recognizing her problematic patterns if he forces her to constantly dissociate! Get out of there, Sue, Ian's even worse than the Count!!

Ah, now you must be very hypothetically hot, because you've just found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Donna Steele! Be sure you follow Donna on social media @donnaasteele

Whelp, Ian may have finally met a human being worse than him, but not by much! Paul Dennison is totally unfit to be a father and should have child services intervene in his son's life, but instead terrible therapist Ian Herrin spends this time explaining what he thinks sex is. This session unlike tennis has no instant gratification and instead will surely prove to be a textbook example of a classic narcissist conversing with a classic douche. Plus like, the meditation this week was really long...

Ooh, you must have a Mustang, cause you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the incredibly quick witted Tucker Iverson. You can find Tucker playing with his improv teams Asylum Presents and Go Dummy, @godummycomedy on Instagram  

25% of all television watchers between 2:15-3:15 am already know Spud Favreau, ESPN's only movie award show commentator. However, very few people know Spud actually has rather nefarious aspirations to slowly takeover the world. Maybe a good therapist could have talked Spud down and make him realize what a failed corporate genetic experiment he is, though of course old dumb dumb CTWROS Ian Herrin not only indulges every Spud flight of fantasy but also goes off on his own wild and overly revealing tangents about his personal life. How does no one call out how awful some of the misogyny and heteronormativity in this conversation is?? Well I guess I did just now, but who reads this anyways??? Ian sucks and I hate how much he enjoyed himself during this session!

You've hit a Home Run!! Why? Because you've found the part of the episode description where I get to tell you about Chandler Dean, @chandlerjdean on all social media. Chandler is a tremendously multi-talented comedian, speechwriter, and overall renaissance man whom you should absolutely get to following and supporting first chance you get! 

Celebrity Blind Gossip columnist Dana Wildebeest has experienced a trauma that’s been haunting her over the last week or so. No matter how hard Ian tries to put Dana in a 7 or 11 box, there may simply be no explanation for the supernatural psychic phenomena she is currently experiencing. And at Ian's rate, she's bound to get dizzy with all of his speculations as to what is going on, but how could he know? I tell you Dana's tale is one that is truly stranger than any fiction I've ever heard of!

This is the part of the episode description that manifests everything you could ever want... And by that I mean serving you up the comedy of the tremendously talented Rachel Taenzler! Be sure you follow Rachel on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok @racheltaenzler 

The military has requested a psychological evaluation for their naval officer David Halsburg, clearly a man that has had to endure a lot during his time in the service. David is a man frozen in time never quite able to progress himself into modern society post 2001. And yet, with the aggressive stupidity of a therapist like Ian Herrin, there's almost no hope whatsoever for David to unpack his traumatic experience. Does Ian steer yet another session aggressively towards talking about his patient's sex life? Well of course he does! Get out of there, David!! Use your new found freedom to actually work on yourself so you can get back to your now adult daughter!!!

Ah, because you've found this, the best part of the episode description, you must be putting yourself to the fullest possible use! Which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do!! So it is my joy to now tell you about the wonderful improviser and podcaster Sean Mako! Be sure you follow Sean on Instagram @scmako and listen to his podcast (that Ian is the upcoming guest on!) Blink of an Eye @theblinkofaneyepod

Celebrity client Sir Patrick Stewart is in desperate need of therapy in order to distinguish Star Trek from his own real life. But why on Earth would he go to some half-witted C.T.W.R.O.S. like Ian Herrin to accomplish such a thing? Maybe if Ian had a better understanding of transference or cognitive dissonance he could have helped Sir Patrick reach a breakthrough. But that is not what happens...

Oh and as an unrelated aside, you can check out comedian Vince White on the podcast Kame House Party, @kamehouseparty on Instagram. On KHP, hosts Aaron Shelton and Vince cover every episode of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z with witty banter and hilarious improvisation along the way. 

The sick and twisted mind of the Saw documentary series John Kramer should be seeking therapy to help curb his psychopathic games. By instead seeking insight from a real Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin, John seemingly walks away from this session with more evil scenarios and targets than ever before. Trigger warning if you are a celebrity or politician that chooses to listen to this!

Ah, you must be someone smart enough to decline the option of playing a game, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser and podcast host Aaron Shelton! Be sure you follow Aaron on Instagram @ajaxshelton and listen to Aaron's fantastic Dragonball and anime podcast Kame House Party! @kamehouseparty on Insta

Born "God", Big Chillin' is perhaps the biggest example of psychopathy to ever enter the office space of the truly terrible therapist Ian Herrin. But what else could you possibly expect from someone whose most neutral and least chaotic friend is an actor known for his brain injury. Big Chillin' purports to be making a major life decision between choosing the path of Catholic religious righteousness and the downward Hell spiral of video games, but it does seem that he made his choice to pursue the devil a long, long time ago. Maybe if Big Chillin's dads had been more honest with him about their lifestyle, that level of open communication could have helped him to grow, but instead, Chillin' found Ian, and so now these two insanely offensive wackadoos won't accomplish much of anything besides offending anyone within their earshot.

Daaaaaamn, you're sexy, and the reason I know is because you found the best part of the episode description!

You would *think* a Man of God would be able to see through and maybe even call out the shame therapy that goes on in this Sigmund Fraud's office, but apparently this thirst trap of a Tik Tok social media televangelist, Bishop Elijiah K. Stone of Alabama, is too focused on expanding his brand to the youth culture to notice! Careful, Bishop Stone, or Ian will get you hooked on pre-martial sex and drugs! Do not help him work out his tight five for standup and do not offer him your healing hands! Definitely also a major red flag if he requires any court documents shredded with no further follow-up or explanation!!

Woa, you must be one of those in the Hella cool crowd, cause you found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Andrew Chandler and his indie team Emails from Hawaii! Be sure you follow Andrew on Instagram @orthodoxdrew

Reality Star Burbank V. of The Ultimate Asskicker's Race seems to dissociate when he thinks he's being filmed. It is as if he has been performing his personality for so long that he has no real identity. But would Ian Herrin be able to help with any of this? I think not. I bet he doesn't even watch Ultimate Asskicker's Race. Maybe Burbank could have come to some real breakthroughs if he had seen a real professional. At the very least, Burbank could've learned that it's okay to be somewhere just to make friends....

Poor Martha is having issues with her beloved boyfriend Q, but Ian shan't be able to help with that... Martha's a smart cookie and she's catching on to Ian's BS right away, but the steal of a deal Ian keeps offering her seems to bring her back. Ian should know that therapists should be more than just the friend of their client. Ian should also know when to say no to role play.

Nothing to do with this therapy session, but the wonderful improviser Fu Goto is someone you should absolutely come out and support if you ever see her attached to a live comedy show in NYC! You can also catch Fu with the house team Joy Fuck Club at Asian AF via Caveat Theater.  

Sig Fraud is going monthly! Starting...... NOW

Be sure you check out our back catalogue for more Fraud content!

Who is the mysterious doctor? Clearly someone with displacement issues in need of serious help and possible marriage counseling. Instead you can hear mistake after mistake of this so called therapist Ian Herrin as he inserts himself into the Doctor's life and makes things worse. Doesn't Ian know there are five or six or whatever number children whose lives depend upon the Doctor getting the help he needs?

Completely unrelated, but Sylvie Wang is a wonderful improviser whom you can often see performing via Squirrel Theater or with the house team of Asian AF at Caveat whenever live shows are possible. 

Yikes! Dolls! Uh-uh, too scary!! Rebecca Sherman, you seem like you have a lot you're not processing, you got too many dolls, and Ian is not gonna be the right therapist for you to figure this all out. If anything, he's been a little pyro recently, so keep you and your dolls' eyes on him. Anna, you seem like a very nice young baby lady. Christina, you're a bit of a party animal, but I dig your vibes. Samantha... just don't hurt me!!

Congratulations on pushing through the Valley of the Dolls to find the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful comedian and playwright Adaire Kamen! Be sure you follow Adaire on Instagram @adairekamen and on Twitter @TruthAdaire
