Jen Kirkman: Just Keep Livin'? - Premieres Tuesday, January 3, 2017In her second Netflix original comedy special, Jen Kirkman is back with her neurotic, storytelling brand of unflinchingly honest comedy. Filmed at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, she jokes about people who won't travel alone, getting a tattoo at 41, male feminists and her solution to street harassment. Just Keep Livin' is a follow-up to her first original comedy special, I'm Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine).

The show is fresh off a successful off-Broadway run in NYC, with superstar musician John Legend serving as Producer.
