 About Jen |

Her debut Netflix Original Comedy Special I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) is available May 2015 for streaming on Netflix worldwide.

Jen has released two stand-up albums Hail to the Freaks (released March 2011) which hit #13 on the Billboard Charts. Her debut album was 2006’s Self Help.


Entertainment Weekly said , “If you like Louis CK, check out Jen Kirkman’s hyper self-analytical humor.” Jen has a weekly podcast, I Seem Fun: The Diary of Jen Kirkman, which is often in the top 100 in comedy on iTunes.


She is currently working on her second book to come out through Simon & Schuster in early 2016.


Jen tours the world as a stand-up and recently toured Australia to sold out crowds in both Melbourne and Sydney. She is currently based in Los Angeles.

Jen was a long time writer and round table guest on Chelsea Lately and is also well known for her roles as the narrator in many episodes of the web-turned-TV series Drunk History which is now in its third season on Comedy Central. She also voiced many characters on the Cartoon Network cult classicHome Movies.


“Hilarious” -The New York Times


“Rising Purveyor of Ha-Ha” -The Washington Post


“Honest pragmatism, with a twist.” -Boston Globe


“What [makes “I Seem Fun”] funny is Kirkman’s inherent knack for cultivating conflict even talking into a microphone in a room by herself. Whether she’s dissecting a negative iTunes review from an angry Christian or seriously considering a class action suit against Robin Thicke for being gross, Kirkman is eternally embattled but she tempers her cynicism with sweetness and, more often than not, she’s right.” - The AV Club
