About the show
it's comedy with a SIDE OF THERAPY.
Laughter is great therapy, but what if we bring some real-life advice into the mix?
It's a show with a blend of comedy and genuine guidance,
making tough times a little lighter.
The premise of "Good Session" is refreshingly simple yet profoundly impactful: audience members submit their real-life issues anonymously, creating a vault of shared human experience. Whether the topics range from the mundane—like the trials of navigating office politics—to the profound struggles related to relationships and mental health, each episode offers a dynamic approach to healing and understanding through the lens of comedy. The anonymity of submissions allows for an honest and open dialogue, where vulnerabilities are transformed into humor.
Brent Gill, known for his quick wit and engaging personality, acts as the show’s captain, steering conversations to balance laughter with the deeper emotional currents hidden within the subjects. Gill’s on stage sidekick, Rubi Nicholas brings a bubbly infectious energy belying her sharply dark wit. Each episode features a rotating panel of talented comedians, showcasing a blend of fresh voices and seasoned performers. This ever-changing lineup brings diverse perspectives and styles to the stage, enriching the conversation and creating a vibrant atmosphere where multiple social norms and family values can be examined—often leading to profound revelations buried beneath layers of jokes.
As audience members participate anonymously, via a live chat room, they too become part of the dialogue, providing their insights and often comedic takes, which adds another layer to the show. This interaction cultivates a unique sense of community making each show a one of a kind experience. Good Session reinforces the idea that everyone faces struggles, and laughter can be a unifying remedy.
"Good Session" does more than entertain; it serves as a reminder that laughter truly can be a form of therapy. Each episode invites viewers to reflect, relate, and ultimately find joy and healing through humor. In this uproarious exploration of life's challenges, the show effectively tests the limits of societal expectations while reminding its audience of the strength found in vulnerability and the power of collective laughter.
As the show creator Brent Gill elaborated,
“as comics, we unfortunately see a high percentage of folks in our industry struggle with mental health issues and I think our sharing those issues in a lighthearted way helps us feel less alone…more connected...this show allows audience members to experience that without stage fright! It’s both therapeutic and uplifting.”
