Stand-Up Comedy

Kirkland’s primary occupation, as noted, is his stand-up comedy.
He started his career in the 1980s, and continues to tour to this day.
Kirkland is often seen at the NYC comedy club Carolines, as well as the Hollywood comedy club The Laugh Factory. Kirkland’s acts are somewhat controversial, as he has been accused of being misogynistic in his acts.
Such accusations stem from his frequent focus on women. Kirkland often talks about what he perceives as negative aspects of women, such as poor dietary habits and an unwillingness to do exercise.
Another frequent topic that comes up in Kirkland’s shows is his sexual escapades and his preferred sexual partners. He has also jokingly advocated domestic violence, going so far as to advocate that men choke their wives or girlfriends.
This has resulted in some backlash, and Kirkland is occasionally the target of hecklers in the audience who find his content offensive.
Kirkland’s response to hecklers is to ad-lib responses to them immediately; a great many of his clips on YouTube, then, are of Kirkland mocking hecklers until they leave his show.
In recent years, another topic that Kirkland has focused on is his advancing years and his inability to keep up with modern times.
Kirkland often pokes fun at this inability to change, as well as his perception of the modern world as illogical and baffling to navigate.
