kinda funny – jj barrows

Wow! I can’t believe the day has finally come!! This has been a years long process in the making!

KINDA FUNNY: Stories by A Full-Time Comedian (with Four Part-Time Jobs) is now available on Amazon!!

This comedy-club-meets-therapy-session collection of stories is a mix of laughs, tears, heavy thoughts and awkward moments. I definitely revealed more of who I am in this book, so I’m a mix of excited and nervous to share it. You can read the stories at random or read straight through to the grand finale! 💜🎉

If you’ve ever enjoyed my comedy, art or writing, please consider sharing this video with people you may know who’d enjoy some kinda funny content! And don’t forget to get your own copy TODAY!! YAY!!!

Thank you so much 🎉🥰🙌

ABOUT KINDA FUNNY:

JJ takes her stories from the comedic stage to the comedic page in this comedy-club-meets-therapy-session collection. From aging parents, awkward first dates, and avoiding the dentist to traversing the difficulties of eating disorders, wrestling with faith and depression, and yet still stumbling into love after looking for thirty-five years in very odd places, JJ uses her experiences to reveal her understandings of humor, faith, mental health, and what it means to finally “grow up,” if that’s even something we ever actually do.

You’ll find stories that are kinda funny, kinda deep, kinda awkward, and even kinda spiritual, giving readers a place to go, offering comfort, sanity, and little to no answers about how to live a better life, but certainly a place to feel a little less alone and a little more entertained.

KINDA FUNNY reveals the freedom a quippy sense of humor can unleash in all of us by bringing levity to those gritty moments.

Well, I don’t know how the months go by so fast and half a year goes by before I sit down to write a blog post. Clearly, I would never make it as an influencer.

Someone once told me if I want to make it in the social media game, I need to be posting two times a day and streaming live on TikTok EVERYDAY for FOUR TO FIVE HOURS!

No thank you, I will leave that to the younger generations. There is too much real life to navigate through to be spending that much time behind a screen or in a virtual reality.

I digress.

While it may seem like I haven’t done any work recently (based purely upon my last post being in July 2023), I’ve actually been working hard behind the scenes to get my second book published!!!

KINDA FUNNY: Stories by a Full-Time Comedian (with Four Part-Time Jobs) is finally going to be release into the world April 1st, 2024!! That’s right, April Fools Day… but it ain’t no joke!

I’m incredibly grateful to have been endorsed by some of my favorite people, including ’90s sensation and current Pastor of Master Peace Church, Montell Jordan! That’s right, cause 🎶 this is how we dooo it! 🎶

Much like my first book, it’s called a spade, it’s a collection of stories that you can read in any order. And while it does include my comedy journey, it’s not just a book about comedy! Some stories are kinda funny, some are kinda deep. Other stories are kinda awkward and a few are kinda spiritual. It’s a little bit of everything, because that’s life!

I made a little video about it and would love for you to take a peek just to get an idea for what you might be getting into should you come on this kinda funny adventure with me…
