I was very impressed by Jen Kirkman's show! She's very funny and really took a heckler to task! I loved it, and I will see her show whenever I can. Thanks for coming to Durham!

The first half of the show was funny then she started getting loud and running around the stage twirling her arms then she went off when booed- most comedians I have seen have learned to handle hecklers,she lost it and while i agreed with what she said to the "booer" I thought she carried on for way to long. Second half unfunny! Carolina theater terrific!

This was my first time seeing Jen Kirkman live. She has a way of selling her story in a way that is funny, sincere and with flare. My favorite of all time. Kept the audience engaged, unlike any other comic I know of. Fantastic show.

This stop was the final leg of Jen Kirkman's U.S. tour celebrating the release of her latest book of stories from her life, 'I Know What I'm Doing -- And Other Lies I Tell Myself'. In the show, she shared six stories from her life which were not featured in the book using the same wit and humour I've come to expect from her podcast ('I Seem Fun') and her Netflix special ('I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine)'. Those people who will attend her shows in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver are in for a treat!

First, the opening act was great, and did about 15 minutes (the perfect amount of time). Jen came up and was hilarious throughout the next hour and a half or so. Loved it!

Both her live show (which just happened in my town, Minneapolis) and her Netflix special were high quality. You will like her if you like mainstream stand ups like Bill Burr and Louis CK. I find her stories a little more intimate and down to earth though.

Really great show! Really kept you engaged and had a really good flow. Loved how she tied it all together. I did think the content would me more aligned with the title of her new book, but I still loved her material! Favorite Moment - "When I tell people I don't want kids they look at me and say, oh you'll change your mind, I don't look at them when they are 8 months pregnant and tell them, 'Oh you'll change your mind!'

First time we had seen her live and rather enjoyed. Funny show throughout and she interacted well with her crowd. Johnny D's is a great place however they sold more tickets than seats so if you show up late you loose.
