At The Stand NYC, “Cheap Therapy” is a stand-up show that borrows the frame of a session and uses it to sort through everyday anxieties, habits, and social friction. The material moves in short observations and longer runs, treating the room like a listening space rather than a stage for slogans. In a city where talk therapy is both commonplace and expensive, the premise lands as a small cultural mirror. The sharpest moments come when the jokes stop chasing approval and sit with the discomfort.
