Jen Kirkman is coming back to the standup spotlight sooner than you might think. After having released I'm Going To Die Alone And I Feel Fine last year, on top of touring and acting, she's hitting Netflix again with Just Keep Livin'? The new special is energetic in a way that most comedy isn't. Kirkman hits on her dislike of traveling alone and getting yelled "nice tits" to. This should be a funny way to start 2017. Just Keep Livin'? lands on Netflix on January 3. While you wait, why not check out this interview we had with her back in August.
IFC has a comedy star studded holiday special
It's the most special-full time of the year. The holidays bring out the best of some and the worst of others. And networks tend to trot out stars for epic, hour-long specials that will live on your DVR until early February when you try to power your way through them. IFC joins the club with a comedy/musical called Joe's Pub Presents: A Holiday Special. Splitsider says the show stars Tony Hale in a talk show-eque format. Joining him in the house band position are The Dap Kings. Then there are huge guest like Bridget Everett, Jo Firestone, Jen Kirkman, and Nick Thune. Keep an eye out for the special days before Christmas on Wednesday, December 21st at 10 PM.
