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.
