About Open the Curtains

Join Derek Luetjen and Zach Robins as they take a look behind the curtains of the Orange County comedy Community and beyond to discuss their guest’s inspiration for performing, mental health issues, and everything in between. Zach is a Psychotherapist, improviser, and open neurotic. Derek is a long-time staple in the comedy community and an unapologetic optimist. As the ADHD flows like wine, listen as the two barely stay on topic while interviewing fantastic guests from the community. (Nothing discussed on this podcast of this is meant to be medical advice or a professional diagnosis.) More info on Zach can be found at ZachRobinsTherapy.com. You can follow Derek on all social media platforms at dereksdumbhobbies.
