Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy
Judd Apatow (writer and director of 'Knocked Up' and the producer of cult classic television show 'Freaks and Geeks') presents Sick in the Head: a collection of intimate and hilarious conversations with the biggest names in comedy from the past thirty years.
Loaded with the kind of back-of-the-club stories that comedians tell one another when no one else is watching, Sick in the Head is Apatow's hysterical, fascinating, totally personal, and perhaps, borderline-obsessive gift to comedy nerds everywhere.
“These are wonderful, expansive interviews (at times brutal, at times breathtaking) with artists whose wit, intelligence, gaze, and insights are all sharp enough to draw blood. Judd Apatow understands as well as any of them the pain that holds the knife, and the glee that wields it.” -- Michael Chabon, author of The Yiddish Policeman's Union, Moonglow, Wonder Boys, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
