About the Show:

Psych! A Diagnostic Stand-Up Therapy Comedy Show, will take you on a beautiful, hilarious journey that includes interactive therapeutic crowd work, stand-up comedy, personal and intimate questions during a diagnostic comedian session with a licensed therapist, and a chance for the audience (aka the Psych! Support) to ask questions.

For each show, three comedians (aka Psych! Comics) take the stage, followed by engaging sessions with licensed mental health therapist and stand-up comedian, Aimee LeCours. Together, they'll unravel the mysteries behind the humor, exploring the age-old question, “Why are you like this?” Prepare for an evening of insightful humor and spontaneous revelations.

Ellen’s comedy ride is one not to miss. Sarcastic, dark, unapologetic, yet insanely charming, Ellen says what she thinks although most of those thoughts should probably be kept to herself.

-Marc Hoover is a Binghamton, NY- based stand-up comedian. As a former cop, Army veteran, recovering alcoholic, and lovable buffoon. Marc's comedy ride will take you through a crash course in all the wrong ways to be successful. After small town Post-9/11 teenage years, Marc left for Army Basic Training two days after high school graduation with a raging America boner. Now in his mid-30s, he continues to serve (now flaccid) both in uniform and on stage. After a failed stint at a law enforcement career and a coinciding alcoholism recovery, he has found a better way to serve humanity. By making fun of it.
