Jen Kirkman pokes fun at pressure to marry, procreate

Unapologetically childless, divorced comic Jen Kirkman tackles society's sacred cows.

Jen Kirkman isn't afraid to point and laugh at society's obsession with marriage, having children and staying young. In fact, the childless, divorced comic regularly tackles the sacred trifecta on stage. 

Kirkman joins Jian to discuss the social expectations that inspire her wry routines, whether any aspects of her personal life are off limits and the framework that inspired her best-selling book, I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales From a Happy Life Without Kids.
