Doing Time by Jt Habersaat
A wild and uncensored glimpse behind the curtain into the mad world of life as a touring stand-up comic. Drawing on countless hours of in-depth interviews with some of the most influential and respected comedians to ever grab a mic, Doing Time offers a deep dive into the realm of stand-up comedy as both a career and an art form. Composed by notoriously uncompromising cult comic favorite JT Habersaat and featuring extended conversations with comedy legends such as Patton Oswalt, Dana Gould, Jackie Kashian, Kyle Kinane, Doug Stanhope, Maria Bamford, David Gborie, Todd Glass, Chris Gethard, The Kids In The Hall, Bobcat Goldthwait, Chad Daniels, Vanessa Gonzalez, Brian Posehn, James Adomian, Kristine Levine, Rory Scovel, Joe DeRosa, Tom Rhodes and dozens more, Doing Time leaves no stone unturned in this often hilarious, sometimes tragic, and always compelling reveal of what it truly takes to live behind the laugh.
Hailed by Chicago Now as the Godfather of punk rock stand-up comedy, JT Habersaat has been forging a uniquely fierce path through the realm of stand-up for over fifteen years. Having worked the road extensively with modern day comedy legends such as Eddie Pepitone (The Bitter Buddha), Brian Posehn (Mr. Show), and even underground icon Lydia Lunch (Teenage Jesus), Habersaat's observational and bitingly sardonic approach to stand-up has made him an uncompromising trailblazer. Doing Time is his third book, following The Altercation Archives and Killing For A Living. When he s not on the road or at work on a new novel, Habersaat curates the Altercation Comedy Festival, held annually in Austin, Texas, and recently hailed by Vulture as one of the best comedy festivals in the world.
