| Brittany with David Armstrong | 28 Feb 2025 | 00:48:08 | |
Brittany sounds like a pretty typical teen. She's in Model UN, loves her phone, and can't help but be real (thanks in part to a particular application on said phone). But with a Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin as her therapist, Brittany is given almost no time at all to discuss whatever her struggles might be! Like, therapy shouldn't be sex education for the THERAPIST, AGAIN! Get out of there, Brittany! Scared emoji shocked emoji sweating emoji!! Ah, you must be super fire emoji, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful actor, improviser, and dungeon master David Armstrong! You can follow David on Instagram @samuraipanda201 and you can also check out David's D & D Youtube channel @bonusactionrpg | |||
| Piccolo with Vince White | 27 Jan 2025 | 00:52:54 | |
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. | |||
| Amir Baba Rahim Khan Ali Taheri Hassan with Fawad Siddiqui | 25 Mar 2024 | 00:48:58 | |
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. | |||
| Betsy Goldmanson with Julie Kann | 11 Apr 2022 | 00:49:18 | |
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! | |||
| Steven Lockley with Billy Soco | 04 Apr 2022 | 00:53:12 | |
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... Oh you like to read down here? Well have you heard about the powerhouse performer that is Billy Soco? Follow Billy @bsoco and check out https://linktr.ee/billysoco for all Billy's upcoming projects including regular musical and Megawatt shows over at Magnet and shows with Northcoast at Asylum and all over the greater NYC area! | |||
| Paulie Frontbutt with Melissa Ulloa | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:50:03 | |
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. | |||
| Sigmund Fraud LIVE with Jaime Lutz, Bill Schaefer, and Caitlin Sing | 24 Mar 2022 | 00:29:01 | |
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. | |||
| Hal Dearborne with Brian Gurien | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:45:18 | |
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/ | |||
| Domino Panteleone with Xavier Padin | 14 Mar 2022 | 00:55:30 | |
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? By the by... *LIVE SIGMUND FRAUD TONIGHT MONDAY 3/14 9pm UNDER ST MARKS* https://www.frigid.nyc/event/6897:80/ Also, Xavier Padin is an incredible performer and human being! Check out his 3/26 workshop and live 3/23 Rubbish Comedy show via these links and catch him Saturday nights with the Armando Diaz experience over at Magnet Theater: https://rubbishcomedy.com/class/improv-lab/ http://dixonplace.org/performances/a-night-of-rubbish-comedy-2022-3-23/ | |||
| Prieston Hartley with Tim Agius | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:51:11 | |
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: https://www.frigid.nyc/event/6897:80/ Sooo random but the comedian Tim Agius is unbelievably smart and funny. Maybe give him a follow on Twitter? https://twitter.com/ItsTimJames | |||
| Harry Chan with Doug Jow | 28 Feb 2022 | 00:48:19 | |
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..... | |||
| James Asavarahap with Nicole Asava | 21 Feb 2022 | 00:48:19 | |
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.... | |||
| "Thicki Kitti" Lu-a Fickle with Onyi Okoli | 14 Feb 2022 | 00:46:13 | |
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! | |||
| Gertrude Gertrude with Sam Evans | 26 Feb 2024 | 00:49:30 | |
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 | |||
| Bessey McDougal with Erin Harland | 10 Feb 2022 | 00:52:20 | |
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) | |||
| Sherri with Carolyn Egan | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:47:08 | |
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! | |||
| Burbank Venice with Andrew Ontiveros | 03 Feb 2022 | 00:45:38 | |
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.... By the by, are you following and supporting the wonderful improv comedian Andrew Ontiveros? Be sure to check him out in Survivor: Millenium Park, all episodes available now! https://youtube.com/c/SurvivorMillenniumPark | |||
| Jack Knight with Aaron Shelton | 31 Jan 2022 | 00:51:57 | |
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 | |||
| Ronnie Rivers with ??? | 27 Jan 2022 | 00:57:42 | |
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 ??? | |||
| Martha Goto with Fu Goto | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:49:54 | |
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. | |||
| Charles Bandacoot with Jerry Burgos | 20 Jan 2022 | 00:52:23 | |
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. | |||
| Doctor with Sylvie Wang | 17 Jan 2022 | 00:44:18 | |
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. | |||
| Tannery Brooke with John Shepard | 13 Jan 2022 | 00:47:15 | |
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!! | |||
| Duncan Hang with Donald Chang | 10 Jan 2022 | 00:43:57 | |
Well Ian may have finally done it and by "done it" I mean made a meek little mouse of a man into a monster. Duncan needed affirmation, love, and attention, and instead he gets Ian. No matter how real Duncan gets about his own life, Ian always seems capable of making it into a pop culture reference. Completely germane to nothing, you can follow comedian Donald Chang on Twitter and Instagram @donaldkchang and be sure to check out his incredible variety show Asian AF at Caveat theater in New York whenever live shows are possible! | |||
| John Divakopoulos with Jon Dimakopoulos | 29 Jan 2024 | 00:48:40 | |
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! The part where I get to tell you all about the tremendously joyous actor and improviser Jon Dimakopoulos. You can catch "Dimo" playing with Woodstock at The Ian Herrin Improv Hour Saturday February 24th at 10:30pm at the Magnet Theater. https://magnettheater.com/show/58110/ | |||
| Sir Patrick Stewart with Vince White | 06 Jan 2022 | 00:52:43 | |
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. | |||
| J.P. Frozee with Ali Gordon | 03 Jan 2022 | 00:48:44 | |
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!! | |||

Also, Santa doesn't appear well.... Ah, you must be on the Good List, because you've found the best part of the episode description!

Sig Fraud is going monthly! Starting...... NOW Be sure you check out our back catalogue for more Fraud content! | |||
| Kara (Tara) Leroy with Ellen Matthews | 27 Nov 2023 | 00:49:44 | |
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! The part where I get to tell you all about the fantastic improviser and podcaster Ellen Matthews! You can catch Ellen on Wednesday nights playing on Megawatt with Dreamboat at the Magnet Theater and be sure you follow Ellen's podcast The Pursuit of Perfectness wherever podcasts are found. You can also find Ellen's projects @ellen.matthews and @pursuitofperfectness on Insta | |||
| Alan Thomas with Chris McDonald | 20 Nov 2023 | 00:48:35 | |
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 | |||
| Terry Bathwater with Marshall Stratton | 13 Nov 2023 | 00:51:28 | |
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!! | |||
| Chair-rison Ford with NIc Rockwell | 06 Nov 2023 | 00:51:42 | |
Chair-rison Ford is a talking chair that bears no relation to Harrison Ford. Wait, what?? What is happening??? Is Ian on drugs??? How is this not explained???? Ian's so checked out from sports it's like this freaky magical realism doesn't even phase him! He just gives more terrible advice and aggressively turns the session sexual as always! Get out of their, Chair-rison! You deserve to be an inside chair if you wanna be!! Ah, your cushion looks like it's in perfect condition because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful improviser Nic Rockwell. Be sure you follow Nic and his hit indie team SuiteTooth on Instagram @norwegian_thunder_butt and @suitetoothcomedy | |||
| Sue with Donna Steele | 30 Oct 2023 | 00:46:44 | |
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 | |||
| Ian Herrin with Ian Herrin (ft. John Shepard returning as Santa) | 30 Dec 2024 | 00:57:50 | |
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! The part where I tell you about my wonderful friend the comedian and actor John Shepard of the hit sketch team Both Hands. Be sure you follow John and his hands @handsomeguyontheinternet and @bothhandscomedy | |||
| John Kramer with Aaron Shelton | 23 Oct 2023 | 00:58:00 | |
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 | |||
| Bryce (Hunt) with Adrian "Frimmy" Frimpong | 16 Oct 2023 | 00:48:34 | |
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 | |||

No new Fraud this week, so please enjoy a wonderful throwback episode of Ian Herrin's old podcast The Ian Herrin Improv Half-Hour featuring the tremendously funny Brandon Zelman and Nic Guastella of Moosha Boosha.

And Sunday 10/22, the IHIH live show is back at Magnet! Tix on sale now! https://magnettheater.com/show/57744/ P.S. Most of the folks we talk about not being on house teams six years ago eventually made it onto house teams! Hooray!! Remember that auditions are not fair ways to evaluate improvisers, all casting is arbitrarily based on who you already know, and that the real reason to do this stuff is the love of the game and no AD should ever decide your worth for you. Stay kind to each other out there as yet another audition season at UCB comes to a close! | |||
| Henry Edwards with James Quesada | 02 Oct 2023 | 00:49:54 | |
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/ | |||

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! Ah, you must have all your tech in order, because you've found the best part of the episode description! The part where I get to tell you all about the wonderful comedian and voice over artist Josiah Knight.

| Richard Drummond with Cameron Lindsey | 18 Sep 2023 | 00:48:59 | |

| Clark Winston with Patrick Williams | 11 Sep 2023 | 00:46:41 | |
Clark Winston seems to be a regular lovely guy that just needs a little help talking to his wife about his fear of riding a horse before his upcoming vacation.

| Miranda Cross with Alexandra Spieth | 04 Sep 2023 | 00:45:59 | |
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!

| Pickles Johannesberg with April Sickler | 28 Aug 2023 | 00:51:40 | |
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!

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!

Peter Dammond is a main experiencing blackouts and lost time.

| Frankie Cruz with Xave Padin | 14 Aug 2023 | 00:49:54 | |
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!

| Matsuyama with Jon Lu | 07 Aug 2023 | 00:49:14 | |
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!

| Tykel Phelps with Ryan Barker | 31 Jul 2023 | 00:45:26 | |
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!
