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

4.0

there's an old adage that in order to be a great artist one must be suffering, broken, or in some other way seeking. this book simultaneously embraces this notion and dispels it. one thing is for certain, the great comedians don't just stumble upon being great. they work at it, they craft it. what's interesting to me is the link between strong critical thinking, particularly noticing things in culture, and the tenacity to turn that into great comedy.

very insightful to the whole process and worth your obsessive, neurotic, self loathing time.
