Favorite Quote

Other than my love for my family, the one consistent observation I have had, during all this madness, is that I needed to laugh. I needed the insights of comic minds … Without comedy, I don't know how I would survive.

Judd Apatow

Introduction

Sometimes, when the world is in chaos, laughter is the key to getting by.

Judd Apatow is the comedian, writer, and director behind hit films including Knocked Up and Superbad. But his career began with interviewing comedians for his high school radio.

Sicker in the Head returns to Apatow's interviewing roots; it's a collection of conversations with some of comedy's biggest names.

Amongst the backdrop of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, many of Apatow's interviews unpack the changing role of the comedian in today's political climate, as well as racism and mental health.

Alongside the seriousness, this book features childhood dreams coming true, anecdotes from seminal comedies, and lots of laughter.
