I’m Jason Klamm. I write comedy books and books about comedy. To prevent people from visiting jasonclam.fart instead of jasonklamm.com (my actual website), I figured comedybooks.net was a little easier to remember. Here are some quotes about me and my work, book-related and otherwise.
Jason understands the mind and heart of the comedy nerd. His love for the history, stories and the comics shines through in every moment with him. He creates space to dive into your own love of comedy which makes the world just feel like a better place.
– Kelly Carlin(Jason’s podcast) Comedy on Vinyl is an amazing way to link comedy’s past with comedy’s present.
– Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)Jason made me look back and relive my long-ago college days of laying on a ratty couch, donning headphones the size of a space helmet, and listening to scratchy recordings of Rodney and Woody and Monty. I may never forgive him.
– Patric Verrone (Futurama, Disenchantment, The Tonight Show)Jason brings a love and knowledge of comedy to each episode and when he doesn’t know something, he’s willing to listen and learn.
– Jimmy Pardo (Never Not Funny, Conan)As a pathological hoarder of comedy vinyl LPs, Jason Klamm’s podcast feels like its being produced specifically for me. The subject matter, the guests, the albums being discussed and Jason’s loose but highly-informed conversations always scratch this comedy nerd’s hard-to-reach itch.
– Dan Pasternack (Portlandia, Comedy Bang! Bang!)On my book Post-Modem: The Interwebs Explained:
“This is the longest, most detailed, best written joke in the world. It’s like being trapped in a car while someone tells you that 45-minute joke that ends ‘Then the horse said, “dogs can’t talk.”’
– Jackie Kashian
“With an inspired mix of real historical texture, ballsy anachronism, countless whip-smart jokes, and spot-on ‘archival photos,’ Jason Klamm spins a delightful John Hodgman-esque look at the Internet throughout history and today.”
– Rob Kutner (Conan, The Daily Show)
