Oh? Absolutely good, sir. It is fun to see people being able to find joy in life. So when I work with clients with depression, you know, anytime we can find a moment of levity or humor that we can bring some laughter out is always a positive thing. And there's actually a number of therapy intervention interventions that are designed to help clients laugh at some of their own symptoms.

Now I want to make sure that we let people know it's not like he's on stage going, oh you should hear about this one crazy dude that comes to my office. It's not that at all.

No, not at all. I mean, those hippo fines are pretty pretty steep if you're talking about clients in public. But I reserve the right to make fun of people who should be in therapy and are not. They are fair game one percent.

So a therapist and a stand up comic. But which one came first? Were you a therapist that started comedy or a comedian that started doing therapy.

Well, on the one hand, professionally, as far as how I get paid, you know, therapy came first. But I've been interested in comedy and been laughing and listening to old comedy records that my parents had ever since I was in sixth grade. So I've always been enjoying comedy and telling funny stories and doing a lot of public speaking with a lot of comedy, all of those things. But as far as professionally stepping on stage with a mic, that therapy came first.

I think it's a cool combination. Most comics I know actually should see a therapist. Now, I've never seen you do therapy, but i've seen you do comedy, and you do a great job. And I bet you're a good therapist because you're really easy to talk to.

That is sort of one of the prerequisites for our profession. You know, if people are jerks, the really usually don't make good therapists.

Yeah, I suppose if the therapy session is literally just you telling them, well found the problem, it's you, they probably wouldn't come back.

Yeah. I live near I live near Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I will tell the joke occasionally that I want to move my practice to Grand Rapids because they have a section of Grand Rapids called Ghastly Village, which seems like a great place to do therapy. Sit there and tell people, yeah, it is your fault and charge them for that. So so far, I don't think that's gonna work, but that's kind of the goal at some point is to I'm totally kick.

Or you could just try to convince him there is no problem. I don't know what you're talking about. There's no problem at all.

No nothing's here, nothing to see here at all, So.

That's hilarious again. Matt Sharp is a stand up comic. He's from Grand Rapids, Michigan. But he's going to be in Sue Falls on December twenty seventh, and I'm not going to skip over the twenty sixth. He and I get to work together in Royal, Iowa December twenty sixth, So if you have family or friends that live in that area, tell them to come out to that show. But again on Saturday, December twenty seventh in Sue Falls,

Oh it's fun and what a great crowd. I mean it was a smaller bunch, but man, we had a great time and the other comics you had lined up for us. And we should probably tell people that these are clean comedy shows, so you can escape from your family or bring them with, whichever you prefer. We'll be in the PG to PG. Thirteen Content rating range. So it'll be a great time. You will need you will

And here's the thing. I think it really works out nicely because people have friends visiting for Christmas. So if you're going to be, you know, entertaining people during Christmas, it's two days after Christmas and Sioux Falls one day after Christmas over in Royal, Iowa. So again, if this is the opportunity to say, hey, let's go out and do some fun stuff, or if you've been entertaining and you're going, oh, sorry, mom, we don't have enough tickets.

We'll be home.

Don't stay up for us.

And Mom, if you're listening to this, we'll sneak you a ticket if you want to show up. We're to all these fights again.

Our guest today Matt Sharp. He is a therapist and a stand up comic and I get to work with him on December twenty sixth in Royal, Iowa. It's a really cool venue. It's called the Great Hall in Royal So again I'm only mentioning that here in Sioux Falls because I know people have family in you know, all

We will have a blast with this.

Have you ever done a show like that where you're in the middle, nurse people surrounding you.

Oh? Sure, absolutely, it's great fun. You kind of keep turning, make sure no one's trying to sneak up behind you, you know, to heckle you or anything. So no, this is gonna be a great night.

I'm excited for it, but I also I'm a little concerned because with my horrible ADHD, I don't know where I'm going to be looking and that's gonna be concerning, but we're gonna have some fun. It'll be a darn good time. Two shows again, one in Iowa, so if it works better for you to come to that show. It's on Friday, December twenty sixth at the Great Hall in Royal, Iowa, and then the show and Sue Falls.

This is going to be a great night. I can't wait to see you. Can't wait to have a lot of fun laughing in Iowa and Sue Falls.

It's gonna be a whole lot of fun. If you'd like tickets to the show and Sue Falls, I've got a link to those tickets at Sue Fallscomedy dot com and you can buy a ticket for fifteen dollars or a pair of tickets for twenty five dollars. There's also a thing for a table, So if you want to bring a bunch of people, all of that at Sue Fallscomedy dot com. And again there's another another show in Royal,
