Nick Leydorf went to law school chasing prestige and purpose. What he found instead was burnout, breakdowns, and the crushing reality that billable hours aren't funny. For twelve years, he fought battles in courtrooms that left him questioning his career, his sanity, and sometimes even his safety. Comedian at Law: From Courtrooms to Comedy, Anxiety, and Clients Who Wanted Me Dead is Nick's brutally honest-and often hilarious-confession of what it's really like to survive the legal grind. With sharp wit and raw vulnerability, he takes you inside a profession that promises respect but often delivers exhaustion, anxiety, and absurdity.
From the chaos of law school to the weight of clients' lives in his hands, Nick exposes the toll of a career that nearly broke him-and the laughter that helped him put the pieces back together. This book is for anyone who's ever felt trapped in their job, buried under expectations, or desperate for a way out. Sometimes the best closing argument isn't made in court-it's the courage to tell your own story.
Nick Leydorf is a fun-loving, Michigan comedian with a quick wit and a third nipple. When he's not on stage, you can find Nick in his office being a lawyer, paying off his student loans. Described as "funny, adorable, and non-threatening" by one writer, Nick talks about his unrelatable profession in such a relatable way that audiences can't help but laugh.
So far, Nick has performed in festivals around the country including Cleveland Comedy Festival, Crossroads Comedy Festival, Gilda's LaughFest, the Detroit Comedy Festival, the Savage Henry Comedy Festival, Big Time Garbage Festival, What a Joke Comedy Festival, Stoop Fest and the Elsie Dairy Festival. Okay, the last one was because Whitesnake had to cancel.
