5.0 out of 5 stars The Princess of Neurotic Comedy May 8, 2008

By Forrest Stout

Format:MP3 Music

Jen Kirkman is already putting out classic material with her first CD. She presents surprisingly coherent and hilarious rants with a very neurotic style. At its best, her delivery tone and tempo is on par with a hyper anxious basketcase in a anxiety support group. At the same time, she's not just throwing this together off the top of her head but presents a very professional well structured flow. (See her rant about why she feels zombies are real and how to avoid them.)

The more I listen to this CD, the more I love it! If you've heard her on Sirius radio and you're even a little curious, I HIGHLY recommend picking up this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent But Not for Everyone October 24, 2010

If you like Maria Bamford, give Jen Kirkman a try. The album is full of what Bamford calls "Quiet, odd joke stories", some of which are funny only (or primarily) because of the force of her delivery style. She moves quickly, so there are probably things you won't catch until the second time through. Good replay value overall, and she does a good job of mixing the everyday-recognizable with the absurd. Some bits are just dumb (if I hear one more comedian talk about pooping their pants, I'm going to vomit), but overall it's a solid album.
