What do you get when you fill a theater with mostly middle-aged adults, a lineup of hilarious middle-aged comics, and throw a bona fide therapist into the mix to facilitate the whole thing?
Jesse The Shrink's Midlife Crisis Show 3!
A nod to how we all got here (this isn’t how we imagined it, is it??) and how we’re trying our best to cope (Nirvana is classic rock now??), this show is for anyone who’s found themselves thinking ‘I can’t believe that was that long ago,’ ‘Why am I so tired?,’ or ‘I can’t believe the price of candy bars!’
Jesse The Shrink is a bona fide licensed therapist and standup comic who gives audiences a sneak peek into the inner-workings and often hilarious experiences of a mental health professional. Whether he’s talking about navigating virtual therapy sessions during an apocalypse or just trying to figure out what to tell drunk people he does for a living, one thing’s sure: after hearing his stories you’ll never see therapy (or your therapist) the same again!
Joining Jesse The Shrink is headliner Jeff Pfoser along with Khadijah Cooper, Jimmie Davis, and Pege Miller.
Comedy for those who’ve been there. Or are about to be! Presented by Catalyst Mental Health.

Headliner Jeff Pfoser owns two minivans, enjoys top-shelf root beer, and prefers eating breakfast food for dinner. Born and raised in St. Paul, he’s a charismatic family man whose relatable stories take surprise twists and turns. Jeff combines impromptu commentary with astute observations of both the magnificent and the mundane. Jeff is a Standup! Records recording artist and has been featured at Acme Comedy Club, First Avenue, The Improv, the Boston Comedy Festival, and the 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival. He also headlined last year’s St. Paul Comedy All-Stars Show and has headlined countless comedy clubs, wineries, & breweries across the country.
Khadijah Cooper grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis as an only child with a standup comedian mother. Working as a Sexuality Educator with teens, her confidence in public speaking, coupled with her quick wit, gave her all the fuel she needed to burst onto the comedy scene, making her name known. In March of 2019 she was voted Top 5 for Best Comedian by City Pages and can be seen headlining and performing in comedy festivals throughout the country. Her point of view and stories of her life make her irresistible to laugh with and relate to.
Jimmie Davis is a positive, grateful Minnesota “nice” native who puts family first and is proud to call St. Paul home. He began his comedy career in the early 90s by honing his craft at local clubs such as Knuckle Heads Comedy Club and quickly ventured out to perform at venues across the Twin Cities, including the Minnesota State Fair. Jimmie started Full Of It Comedy Club in St. Paul during the late 90s where he featured local up-and-coming comedians to help them hone their skills. Today he continues performing his brand of hilarious comedy across the country and was featured in last year’s St. Paul Comedy All-Stars Show.
Pege Miller started her comedy career at the Honolulu Comedy Club on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and she's been making audiences from Hawaii to the Midwest laugh ever since. Known for her high-energy and positive-vibes demeanor, along with a sharp sense of humor that will leave you in stitches, Pege has become a favorite performer at comedy clubs across the Twin Cities and beyond.
