i'm neither boston nor irish and even i think that boston-irish is just plain old american. they emigrated what... like 5 generations ago? give it up already
+duchesswannabe Yeh, I understand wanting to be connected to their heritage, but it is a bit weird when they come over here, introduce themselves as Irish in thick American accents having never been here before.
As a first generation from the Boston area, I couldn't agree more. I always wonder what my kids will be like though, or my grandkids. I guess we try to hold onto the heritage, but it's hard to take people seriously that haven't even been back to the homeland they feel so connected to.
On some level I can understand what you are saying jd, but as an Irishman, I do get that Americans have a dual identity. Their national/cultural identity, American, and their ethnic identity, Irish, Italian, German, Dutch etc. It annoys me when my countryman are too stupid to understand that.
I has an Irish neighbor who once told me "There's 6 million people living in Ireland, and 80 million people on the planet who claim Irish ancestry yet don't live in Ireland....what does that tell you about Ireland???"
Peter Slattery I think he was suggesting that Ireland is such an awful place that millions of people have felt compelled to escape it, including himself. To be fair though, I was told this probably 12 years ago, and by a 60 year-old Irishman who immigrated in the 1980's. His concept of Ireland was during a time when Ireland was impoverished and kind of stagnant. He missed the booming period where Ireland started doing really well in the 90's. His "Ireland" was like Angela Ashes, Jim Sheridans' Ireland, not the modern Ireland.
+Dane Potmo Hey Dane. Yeah, completely. I got what he was implying, it's just woefully ill-informed. The numbers of 'Irish abroad' comes in great deal from the forced emigration of the population during the famine. The population of Ireland was reduced by 25%. Once these people flourished abroad, numbers grew. Way, way faster than here in Ireland. We've maintained a steady-ish population number since. The idea that "80 million" compared to "6 million" because Ireland is somehow a crap country to live in is laughable. We certainly have our issues. But it's a damn nice country to raise a family in.
00:58 "Oh, I guess you don't like...unless it's Rachel, Ross and Chandler, you don't like Americans." Not true. We also like Joey, Phoebe and Monica and, sometimes, Gunther.
I was at that gig in question. There was no issue with her being American, why would there be? There were plenty of other American acts at the same festival who all did well. The issue was she was not funny. The crowd only got rowdy because we were not laughing and yes people started chatting amongst themselves as they were bored. Her reaction was to blame us for not finding her funny. At no stage in this video does she admit or even thinks this might be the reason. I hope she has gotten better at stand up since then (It was a few years ago this happen.)
John Sheehan Agree with ya there, I wasn’t even there but by the sounds of it she didn’t sound like she was funny. I’ve gone to plenty of comedy gigs in the laughter lounge in Dublin with American acts and they where tops 👌🏻
+MrTcvip haha wtf are u talking about? Do u even live in ireland? 90% believe in god and we have the highest percentage of people in a country that go to mass
First of all, Kirkman never said anything about being molested. She referenced on her podcast a famous, highly respected comedian who is also a filmmaker, who masturbates in front of female comics. She never said it was CK or Stanhope, that's all other's speculation. The only comedienne who lied saying they knew Louis CK abused women was MPD schitzo Rosanne Barr, who flatout called CK a "Bill Cosby-level rapist" based on no evidence.
I'm Irish and I think Jen is a fantastic comedian. I really love her stuff. I've been to a few comedy gigs in Ireland where the comedian had to lose it with members of the audiance because of their behaviour. The same problem as Jen had. They also should've just left if they wanted to sit and talk, but they were drunk and didn't have any respect for those around them.
+Nikhil Dasan Now that would be something! Although, they would have stay there for a week before his diarrhea would end and then start filming. Not being rude here, just realistic.
+Juza Aikanen hmm interesting half of world wants to sell India weapons other half to buy their stuff and literally all major corp are in India begging Indians to buy stuff why cuz Imdia is the second strongest economy currently with a huge wallet to buy stuff nobody gets diarrhea then...just being realistic u know cheers
+vincent dipazio LOL I am an Indian National well that also proves your intelligence and intellect..what to expect.. anyways cheers mate lets not make this one of them internet arguments and lets check facts and not folklores please check business and health website you will find your answer and also tryna google.."sikkim,Mussouri,Kerala,Goa, ladakh "you will find very surprising things
what crappy festival was she at...sounded like a hotel from what she said. Bit of a generalisation to say all dubs are bad receptors at gigs... definitely the opposite !!
Noooo don’t apologise to them, they were a bunch of c word, ask bill burr! Abuse is all they deserved. Never back down. If the act is not that funny , usually the abuse is !!! Irish people don’t mind abuse.
pity she had a bad experience.I can guess the comedy club on the quays she is talking about .Its known for very drunk customers who want to talk during the shows .Those people normally get thrown out.it wasn't because of where she was from .The audience there are drunks.
Christ...it drives me crazy when adults can't sit in a chair without putting their feet up on the chair WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SIT!!! It's so rude. I mean people in Japan take their shoes off before they enter someone's house. Ok, that would be a high bar for us, but with that said at least we should not put our shoes up on a chair.
She's lying about the Irish. She's talking about a stereotypical Ireland that existed ,40 odd years ago, she has a track record of lying too, defending Louis CK she knew what he was
Why would you assume she was catholic? And what's it got to do with anything? See that's her issue; narrow perspective. Comedians are smart. Or very stupid. You can't blame the aidience if you didn't hook them.
Conan's "good save" made me laugh so hard. xD
I love her voice

I like comedians who don't do their routine during talk show interviews.
and I like cheeseburger
It's not a criticism.
lol this guy
Like Smy Achumer?

For every 1 person alive, there are 30 people dead. That means there were 180 million people with Irish heritage.
00:58 "Oh, I guess you don't like...unless it's Rachel, Ross and Chandler, you don't like Americans."
Not true. We also like Joey, Phoebe and Monica and, sometimes, Gunther.
Gunther is Dutch
No one likes Monica.
I love when she put her legs up, it was so cute
"I stole a donut and a cop didn't care." Ha! ;-)
+Alexander Frank Castro You would think if a cop would care about any crime, donut theft would be that crime.
+Ben Bullock Totally! :)
@@KthulhuXxx I know what stereotype you're referring to, but that's not really a popular one here. Although the gardai not caring is still true
This was the funniest thing she said all night!

Listen to bill burr’s story in ireland
This video was funny at least
Hecklers are one of the worst kind of people.
They're infinitely better than comments section trolls who blurt "women comics are never funny" and similar bullshit.
Great comedians have great comebacks and will never have problems with hecklers, I’m surprised Jen did.
Damn! She looks really good here!
+Preston Chandler Yep. If only she go and spoil it by talking.
The irony is strong with Internetpolice666
Garruk Wildspeaker No irony at all. I talk and look better than her.
Internetpolice666 Go read a book.
Garruk Wildspeaker Says somebody named after a fantasy game? Nice one.
I've been in love with Jen Kirkman since her days in the old Chelsea Handler show
Saw her Netflix stand up XD loved the show!
majority of Ireland isn't religious at all.
More religious than the rest of europe
+Katie Lynch
Ireland? The most Atheist country in Europe?
Do your research.
+MrTcvip haha wtf are u talking about? Do u even live in ireland? 90% believe in god and we have the highest percentage of people in a country that go to mass
+Katie Lynch Not Italy, where the vatican is or Turkey?
Nmph Nmph Apparently Ireland is the most religious where a handful of grannys go to mass on a Sunday.
Her Netflix special is fantastic
I sat down with her father at a bar a couple days ago. Talked about Ricky Nelson and other oldies. Wicked nice guy.
I like her hair
Louis CK probably spaffed watching this video
Wtf is "spaffed"
It wasn't Louis, it was Doug Stanhope.
First of all, Kirkman never said anything about being molested. She referenced on her podcast a famous, highly respected comedian who is also a filmmaker, who masturbates in front of female comics.
She never said it was CK or Stanhope, that's all other's speculation.

She smiles like Blake Lively.
With her mouth?
@@garrukwildspeaker7960 What a coincidence! I also know people who smile using their mouths!
Strange observation
The Irish will laugh if you are funny
im From Dublin. yeh when your'e in any social situation whatsoever and you're not Drinking , Everybody thinks your'e a weirdo or pregnant. Real Talk!
Jen k is awesome
I'm Irish and have never heard of this women. And I can see why an irish crowd wouldn't like her
This woman does not get Irish humour and clearly takes things way too literally.
maybe its cos the Irish like funny people?
I live in Dublin and I like her quite a lot.
No Irishman would throw beer on stage - that'd be a waste.
I absolutely love Jen Kirkman.
I'm guessing the female heckler was making a joke - not actually questioning your divorce! Not surprising the gig tanked.
Most likely she just wasn't funny
JDMime I reall just love reading replys to what people say. They give me life 😂😂
JDMime You say that to everyone who criticises her...
This woman doesn't understand sarcasm. You need to know your audience.
she wasn't religious...she was just funnier than you are...
Conan!!! pls come to INDIA
+Nikhil Dasan Now that would be something! Although, they would have stay there for a week before his diarrhea would end and then start filming. Not being rude here, just realistic.

Conan got the you should of made it work that's irish
She's no Bill Burr.
She's got bword (it rhymes with balls) using the cword
She's really sweet.
Noooo don’t apologise to them, they were a bunch of c word, ask bill burr! Abuse is all they deserved. Never back down. If the act is not that funny , usually the abuse is !!! Irish people don’t mind abuse.
Irish + Boston? I bet she knows Ray Donovan ;)
I just read this chapter on her book ;-P
I LOVE JEN!!! ❤️
Vodafone Comedy Festival, I assume. I've been to that twice, and it's a bit nasty.
what did she say in1:41
I just discovered Jen's comedy this week. She's hilarious and hot.
Could you offend us anymore ?
not really offensive tho, just funny
What doesn’t offend you?
Some of the comments are a little on the cruel side!
You never neat the Irish.
I wish I was there haha bunch of cultchys
So what was the C word?
pity she had a bad experience.I can guess the comedy club on the quays she is talking about .Its known for very drunk customers who want to talk during the shows .Those people normally get thrown out.it wasn't because of where she was from .The audience there are drunks.
whats the C word? lol

+GC hold this W
GC Women are smart and funny, get over it
I can see why they hated her
She looks like Joan Jett
She's pretty to me.
Nice 👍

Or maybe she was just not funny... If you're going to stereotype a country at least do it with some humour....

I guess you haven't seen Amy Schumer.
Wait, she's supposed to be a comedian?
If her show was as funny as this segment, I can see why people didn't like it.
What a cutie. Yum. 💕
In Ireland its called a GARDA not a COP
Im Irish and i've never called them as Garda.
Her shirt is see-through, she can't tie a tie, and has her feet up on the couch. =/
Just. Not. Funny.
