Hey world! My book “I Can Barely Take Care of Myself” comes out April 2013. But it is available for pre-order now!
Why pre-order? It helps “the man” (I mean Simon and Schuster executives) know that there are people out there who want to read about the topic of Child-free by Choice. And they’ll get behind my book even more - instead of yell at me.)

Chelsea Lately regular Jen Kirkman is “childfree by choice.” Here’s what she’d like to say to everyone who can’t stop telling her she’ll change her mind.It’s hard to be an adult. You have to dress yourself and pay bills and remember to buy birthday gifts. You have to drive and get annual physicals and tip for good service. Some adults take on the added burden of caring for a tiny human with no language skills or bladder control. Parenthood can be very rewarding, but let’s face it, so are margaritas at the adults-only pool.
Jen Kirkman’s stand-up routine includes lots of jokes about not having kids (and some about masturbation and Johnny Depp), and total strangers constantly approach her and ask, “Who will take care of you when you’re old?” (Servants!) Some insist, “But you’d be such a great mom!” (Really? You know me so well!) Whether living rent-free in her childhood bedroom while trying to break into comedy (the best free birth control around, she says), or taking the stage at major clubs and joining a hit TV show-and along the way getting married, divorced, and attending excruciating afternoon birthday parties for her parent friends-Jen is completely happy and fulfilled by her decision not to procreate. I Can Barely Take Care of Myself is a beacon of hilarious hope for anyone whose major life decisions have been questioned by friends, family, and strangers in a comedy club bathroom. And for everyone who wonders if Jen will ever know true love without looking into the eyes of her child. (A girl can dream.)
Advance praise for Jen Kirkman’s I Can Barely Take Care of Myself:Jen has a unique, fresh, and funny way of reminding people that sometimes, you really do know what’s best for you.”-Sarah Colonna, comedian and New York Times bestselling author of Life as I Blow It“I’m now convinced of two things: Jen is freaking hilarious and she should definitely not have a baby-she should have a Valium.”-Whitney Cummings, creator of Two Broke Girls and Whitney
