Geek Therapy

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Geek Therapy is a series of comedy sketches from Comediva, featuring a a therapist who specialises in all things geeky; the majority of her cases are spent on helping new, wannabe geeks learn and understand the worlds of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Video-Games and Fandom, as well as helping long term geeks stop their nerdier passions from taking over their life.

The majority of the humour is derived from the clashes between fringe geek culture and more mainstream enjoyments, the thought that it exists in a world where being geeky has become so desirable that people will go to therapists to help them- and of course, lots and lots of nerdy inside jokes.

Tropes used in Geek Therapy include:

Geeks Are Sexy: At least a few of the patients have applied either to help pick up geeky dates or to be able to keep up with their nerdy partners.
