    9 Sep 2026

    A son who catches his dad using and says nothing. A lawyer who feels no grief. A friendship ended by a dream. Licensed therapist Jeff Packer weighs in.


    Laugh It Off is the group therapy comedy show. The crowd submits real problems anonymously, a rotating panel of comedians works them over, and Jeff Packer, a licensed therapist with 35+ years of practice, weighs in for real.

    This episode: an estate lawyer who has never felt empathy for the grieving, a woman calling her boyfriend the same pet name as her male friends, a man turned on by his partner's Invisalign, a mother who only vacations at Disney World, a son who catches his father doing cocaine and stays silent, a mother who will not stop asking for grandkids, a passenger hit by his own Uber driver who tipped him anyway, and a twenty year friendship ended over a dream.

    Featuring comedians Hershawn Arora, Kerby Darius, Sandra Battaglini, Harrison Weinreb and Chris Locke.
