  • Comedian Ontonio Kareem jokes about his journey from being a children's therapist to a comedian, why he's no longer a stoner, and the wild therapists he's had since he left the job in his Don't Tell Comedy set!
    Comedy is at its best when there's a surprise - that's why Don't Tell Comedy puts on events where the performers and location are kept secret until the day of the show. With over 150 cities already in on the joke, you never know where we'll set up shop, or who might pop in. Want to be let in on the secret?

    Just don't tell anyone!! 🤫
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Ontonio Kareem is a comedian, writer, and actor based out of New York City. Ontonio’s awkward upbringing in Chicago is to blame for his uniquely introspective and subdued style on stage.

    I had a psychiatrist from Uganda called Dr.Nwokolo and that man was the most kindest yet brutal man i've met. He got me out of my rough times by always suggesting new solutions because he didn't like to give up on his patients. I hope that man is doing good.

    • @AmazingAutist
      @AmazingAutist Месяц назад +1

      ​@@uikmnhj4me that is objectively false. A lot of time is your family and friends don't know what they're doing and don't know how to help you when you're dealing with suicidal thoughts and don't realize they are part of the cause of your issues. A therapist is someone who has studied the human mind, understands understand the warning signs, and is there to give perspective in coping strategies that you might not be privy to you and that your friends and families wouldn't be able to give unless they themselves or learned and how to do it. That's like saying a service animal it's just a pet with a fancy vest and I should know, that blind guy really does need that dog to help him get around.

    • @AmazingAutist
      @AmazingAutist Месяц назад

      My current therapist is not old and she is freaking great. It's been a few sessions so far but she's patient, gives a lot of perspective, lesson is very well, and understands the modern issues that I'm going through while also giving an outside perspective. I had an older therapist once and I had to leave because she was very out of touch and bulldoze the conversation and tried to diagnose me with a defiant disorder just because I wanted to be heard and didn't just not along to what she said. Which was not at all the case. Later on, I got diagnosed with autism nowhere even close to "oppositional Defiance disorder."
      I'm glad the middle aged therapists were there to listen to me and that the psychiatrist who was in her 40s was able to catch what was a really going on
