Jordan Jensen | You Can’t Say Anything (But Actually You Can) | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out

Mike Birbiglia | January 22, 2026



This week Mike sits down with comedian Jordan Jensen. A master of turning taboo topics into comedy- as seen in her Netflix special Take Me With You- Jordan explains how her fearless, no filter stage persona coexists with her emotional, more vulnerable side. Plus, the story of how caring for her paralyzed friend led her to stand-up, why Jordan almost bit Laura Dern on the set of Bradley Cooper’s film Is This Thing On?, and the time someone from the audience tried to fight her.

    This was such a fun conversation, I'm fully obsessed with Jordan's blunt, brilliantly truths telling crowd work. The bit about ICE not having the basic disarming skills of the average comedian was spot on and in Minneapolis we need the laugh!

    Great Ep! On the subject of every comedian's favorite nightmare–tags from randos in comment sections: For Jordan's police joke, don't say "AK-47", say "9 millimeter" or "AR-15", as those are weapons actually used by American cops, and will pander more to the gun folks and autistics that care about such things.

    @20:10 "ive been at the table with you…" As a comedy nerd from the age of 6 and genx that Cellar Comics's table is intimidating and an honor to be at and he just says it in passing like its nbd. Im just so proud of her. Shes living my dream. No one asked but im a mom of 4 and 1 special needs kid that needs me 24/7 and no group homes and inpatient wont take him because of his diagnosis. Thats my life. Ive never written anything never gone on stage im a mom and a caregiver and thats ok. BUT shes living the life i dreamed of and because ive followed her for YEARS and years its been so cool to see her soar.

    As someone who grew up with a carpenter mother and has bad OCD, Jordan Jensen always makes me feel seen… though I never thought of taking a pic of the stove so, thanks for that.

    Anyone else getting serious egg vibes from Jordan? Like, I feel like she sounds like me 10 years ago, and I've since gone all the way down the pipeline of cishet, cis bi, trans bi lmao

    The paralyzed friend needs to be talked about. It’s actually sweet and endearing, and would be hilarious. I brought my childhood friend, who recently became blind, to an open mic and bombed. I came back to my seat and he said, “You got some laughs.” I said, “That must be your hearing compensating for your blindness, cause I did hear shit.” That at least got us a laugh.
