Jen Kirkman: Just Keep Livin?

You can't mess with this hour of comedy. Everything Jen Kirkman has touched has been fantastic. Her books, her time on Chelsea lately, her stand up shows (I will review both of them pretty much the same) & her podcast are all gems. As for ''Just Keep Livin'" if you simply want to laugh for an hour straight, just watch this special. Her timing, her knack for insightful and introspective ways of looking at things & turning them into great stories is classic star comedy. I tried to review this on Netflix because it makes me a little bit annoyed that they haven't cleared her for a third hour long special but I agree with the other reviewer - how can no one have reviewed this yet? This is a comedic gem!

Another new face as a stand-up comedy for me. I've been watching a lot of stand-up comedies lately and Jen Kirkman would be in the list of the ones I would want to see more of in the future. She has her own style bringing her jokes, not really short jokes, jokes with a longer story but hell they work for me. She has a good stage presence and her voice isn't annoying to listen to. I say that because I just watched a Michelle Wolf show as well, and even if her jokes were okay her voice is just irritable, so yes i think it's important to have a nice voice to listen to, especially if that's the only thing we're going to hear for about an hour.

If I could describe her humor, it is casual funny. Something the uptown girls, who work in the office would enjoy.

This won't be for everyone, and there are definitely better specials. It ain't awful though.

Is her gimmick that she just tells boring everyday stories without anh punchlines?

I can't believe in this day and time of unwarranted, anonymous, internet opinions not one person has written a review of this comic gem. Jen is hilarious! The whole set kicked ass. The whole 'Matthew McConaughey/JKL?' bit, the pieces namesake, is priceless... Whoever said women aren't funny never saw Jen at work. I remember seeing her as a panelist on Chelsea and thinking she was funny but hell they were all funny. Its just hard to be showcased in that setting. If you like comedy and you like watching a strong comedian, I urge you to watch this Netflix special. If you don't like comedy... well, you've got to be miserable. You need to laugh more.
