Lie back. Get comfortable. We don’t judge here — actually, that’s not entirely true. We absolutely judge a bad show. But that’s precisely why we built this one.
Welcome to From the Couch, the official blog of The Freudian Slips Experience — Albuquerque’s premier themed burlesque showcase, and the only place in town where your id, ego, and superego can all have a good time simultaneously.
Consider this your intake session.
So. What brings you here?
Maybe you caught one of our shows and couldn’t quite explain what you’d witnessed — only that you needed more of it. Maybe you’ve heard whispers about a burlesque collective operating somewhere between a parlor game and a fever dream. Maybe you just followed a link and now you’re committed. Whatever brought you to the couch, we’re glad you’re here.
From the Couch is where we’ll pull back the velvet curtain on everything FSE — show announcements, performer spotlights, behind-the-scenes dispatches, and the occasional unsolicited opinion on the state of Albuquerque’s performing arts scene. Think of it as free association, but with better costuming.
A little about us, since you asked
The Freudian Slips Experience has been bringing themed, consent-forward, community-rooted burlesque to Albuquerque since 2023. Every show is built around a concept — not just a vibe, but a full theatrical world you get to walk into for a few hours. We take the art seriously. We take ourselves considerably less so.
Our next show? Slippin’ Into Spring — April 12, 2026 at The Painted Lady. Brunch. Drag. Burlesque. Magic. It’s exactly what it sounds like and also nothing like what you’re imagining.
This is just the beginning
We’ll be updating From the Couch regularly with everything you need to know — and a few things you didn’t know you needed.
Here’s what you can expect on the regular:
Couch Sessions — deep dives into the work: act development, performance theory, the creative process behind what you see on stage. The stuff that happens before the spotlight hits.
Wordy Wednesdays — showing up every week with the kind of content that’s good for your brain and great for your search history. You’re welcome, algorithm.
Plus show announcements, performer spotlights, behind-the-scenes dispatches, and the occasional unsolicited opinion on the state of Albuquerque’s performing arts scene. Think of it as free association, but with better costuming.
