Podcast Title: We Hired a Sitter For This

🎙️ With Ross Erin Martineau away this week, Patrick Holbert takes the mic solo — juggling comedy career updates, family life, and mental health check-ins all in one episode.

🎭 Patrick’s got a packed schedule:

• Sept 11 – Grisly Pair (West Village, midnight show)

• Sept 12–13 – Providence Comedy Connection featuring for Ian Fidance

• Next weekend (Thurs–Sat) – Stress Factory New Jersey with Ian Fidance

📺 On the road, Patrick and Ian are also shooting episodes for a new “silly Dirty Jobs-style” travel show while Patrick leans into YouTube growth with consistent podcast uploads.

💸 Offstage, he opens up about the financial whiplash of inconsistent income, feeling disconnected from the NYC comedy scene, and a Sunday depression episode that tested family dynamics. He’s back at meetings, revisiting Raymond Chandler novels, and even carrying a “magical crystal” to stay grounded.

🎬 Rounding things out, Patrick shares film takes: Friendship, Sicario, and a defense of Reptile — where he enjoyed Justin Timberlake playing against type.
