For comedy fans yearning to look behind the scenes and see how they make the donuts, it doesn't get much better than Judd Apatow's Sick in the Head.
This collection of interviews with comedy greats started 30 years when Apatow was just a ballsy teen seeking a blueprint on how to make a career in comedy. He decided the best way to educate himself was to pick the brains of comedians via interviews, at first purportedly for a radio station that his subjects didn't realize was just a tiny high school project. He interviewed dozens of big names in comedy over the years: Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Mel Brooks, just to name a scant few.
I'd been planning to post about some of my favorite segments of the book when I discovered it was on sale for $3.99 for Kindle! That's right, get it while it's hot -- there are no dates on this sale, but these little unannounced deals Amazon does usually come out of the blue only to disappear without warning within two or three days.
I'll be back later with some of the highlights and insights I found in the book, but for now, get your hot little hands on your own copy!
