About Jen Kirkman

Jen Kirkman (born August 28, 1974), born Jennifer Ann Kirkman, is an American stand-up comedian, screenwriter, podcaster and actress. She is known for her regular appearances as a round-table panelist on Chelsea Lately for 70 episodes from 2008 to 2014, as well as for appearances on @midnight and the Funny or Die sketch series Drunk History. Her debut book, I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales From a Happy Life Without Kids, was published in April 2013 and became a New York Times bestseller.

Kirkman was born in Needham, Massachusetts, and is the youngest of three sisters. She majored in acting at Emerson College in Boston, and performs stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, appearing regularly at the Hollywood Improv, The Laugh Factory, Largo and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. In 2009, Entertainment Weekly named her one of the "Top 12 Rising Stars in Comedy".

Her first three comedy albums are Self Help (2006), Hail to the Freaks (2011), which peaked at #13 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart, and I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) (2016), the latter also serving as her debut stand-up feature for Netflix. Her second Netflix feature, Just Keep Livin'?, premiered on January 3, 2017. She was a staff writer on E!'s Chelsea Lately, and in 2017 and 2018 contributed to the first two seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as a writer, consultant and producer.
