    Ian Aber: Comedian
    Sep 13 2025

    This week on Shirts in the Pool, we’re joined by America’s Gay Christian Sweetheart, comedian Ian Aber. We dive into growing up with complicated family dynamics and how that shaped his views on food, identity, and comedy.

    We explore the challenges of the comedy lifestyle when you’re trying to eat well and actually take care of yourself. Ian opens up about binge eating and body image, sharing how Ozempic helped quiet the constant food noise, shift his habits, and ultimately save him more money than he was spending on DoorDash.

    Plus, we get into how therapy has helped him break unhealthy food cycles, navigate self-sabotage, and push back against negative self-talk.

    This episode was a blast to record — we know you’ll enjoy it!
