In 2011, she began making regular appearances on the second season of After Lately.

In November 2013, Deadline reported that FX had landed a script deal to Jen, a half-hour sitcom executive produced, written by and starring Kirkman. The series, set in Boston, Massachusetts, centered on a recently divorced woman in her mid-30s. The project was backed by Borderline Amazing Productions, with executive producers Chelsea Handler, Tom Brunelle, and Brad Wollack.

In May 2015, she released her stand-up feature on Netflix, I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine). Her second stand-up feature for Netflix, Just Keep Livin’?, premiered on January 3, 2017.

In 2017 and 2018, Kirkman contributed to the first two seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as a writer, consultant, and producer, providing many of the jokes for the main character’s stand-up routines. The series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino for Amazon, is “loosely based on the concept of Joan Rivers’ career.”

On October 11, 2017, it was reported that ABC had started development on The Mighty Quinn, a television series written by Kirkman and produced by Julie Anne Robinson. The half-hour comedy series focuses on “39-year-old Quinn, who, after getting dumped by her boyfriend on Christmas Day, takes a year off from dating to find herself.”

In the year 2001, Kirkman founded Girlcomic.net with fellow comedian Becky Donohue . The website featured interviews with comedians such as Joy Behar, Margaret Cho, Sue Murphy, Amy Poehler, and Sarah Silverman. On the intention of the website, Kirkman stated that the “one thing about feeling like there are still threads of sexism is women can get discouraged and we wanted [to encourage] girls to write funny stories and we wanted to interview famous female comics to let their stories get out. It was meant to be positive and cool and we included men on the site too.” Regular updates to the website ceased in 2003, and the domain was ultimately closed in 2006.
