Adam Cayton-Holland is a stand-up comedian from Denver, Colorado. He's best known as part of the comedy group The Grawlix and for co-creating and starring in the TV sitcom
Those Who Can’t. In addition to comedy, he's a writer whose work has appeared in many local and national magazines. His first book,

Tragedy Plus Time is a raw, honest, and surprisingly funny book about family, the kind that’s messy, complicated, and sometimes beautiful.
It tells the story of the Cayton-Holland siblings Anna, Adam, and Lydia, three smart and sharp teens from Denver, raised by a civil rights lawyer and an investigative journalist. Their parents taught them to care about justice and to stay open to the highs and lows of life even when those lows fed anxiety and obsessive thoughts.
Adam became a stand-up comedian, Anna became a lawyer, and Lydia, the youngest, had a harder time figuring things out. Lydia was smart, funny, stubborn, and deeply sensitive. She and Adam were especially close, bonding over comedy shows and doing skits together growing up.
In college, when Adam fell into a deep depression, it was Lydia who helped him through it. But later, as Adam’s career takes off, Lydia faces her own depression—and this time, Adam can’t save her. When she dies by suicide, the family is shattered. Adam turns to comedy, alcohol, and anger to cope. He’s haunted by her death and eventually seeks therapy to help with his trauma, realizing there’s a difference between losing someone and completely falling apart.
Adam Cayton-Holland is not only a talented comedian but also a gifted writer who brings humor and heartbreak together.
Tragedy Plus Time is his moving, funny, and powerful tribute to his sister, a book that will make you want to call your own siblings the moment you finish it.
