Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy by Judd Apatow
4.0
Important Read if You Want To Learn Comedy Writing
This is probably a really excellent guide or even textbook for young, hungry people about the how to work in entertainment business. Apatow is one of the best, and I began reading this book with an unwavering interest in him. However, his real genius is interviewing all these different comedians/writers/directors/entertainers to understand how the came to the craft, how they work, the big break, and how they keep an interest in working. All the stuff is here to learn and inspire young people to just do the thing. School is a huge distraction for most of these performers, and they learned by doing. So just like Apatow models himself, it doesn’t matter what you start, just start. And don’t quit.
