I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING & OTHER LIES I TELL MYSELF

Hardcover Release April 2016

Paperback Release *updated material April 2017

A 40-something stand-up comedian’s blisteringly honest and hilarious account of a life still “majorly under construction.”

Kirkman offers no excuses for the freedom-loving woman she is or for her focus on building a career as a successful stand-up comic. Her life may appear chaotic and her lifestyle choices unconventional, but both are as uniquely individual as her book. Genuine, intelligent, and candid. - KIRKUS REVIEW

I CAN BARELY TAKE CARE OF MYSELF

RELEASE DATE APRIL 2013

An instant New York Times Bestseller!

In her first memoir, stand-up comedian Kirkman takes a seriously humorous stance on deciding not to have kids. She includes stories on dating, babysitting, and what happens after performing a comedic set, but they all support the main point of her book—that she doesn’t want any children. With the novelist’s penchant for self-flagellation and exploitation, and jokes punctuating at least every page, this book is ideal for the woman who needs a quick comeback for those who criticize her about not having kids, or for those just looking to laugh.
