Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy by Judd Apatow

4.0

This is a very interesting and engaging read that is perfect for anyone who enjoys comedy/comedians. Judd Apatow has been obsessed with comedy from a young age and began interviewing comedians (also his heroes) in 1983/1984. The book collects several interviews from his early days in awkward interviews to interviews from podcasts to interviews he set up purely to be able to geek out about comedy with a peer. Some of these are very personal and interesting, some just silly. But the book does collect the thoughts of some of comedy's brightest stars and provides a very interesting look into the world of comedy. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys comedy but also enjoys psychology/philosophy/talking about life. I really enjoyed reading this and hope that Apatow does release a second volume with even more comedy legends.
