Comedian Jen Kirkman takes a recorder backstage at Outside Lands Festival and captures what goes on behind the scenes at one of the biggest festivals in the U.S.

San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival took place this past weekend in Golden Gate Park and more than 200,000 people attended. There were music headliners like Elton John, The Black Keys and Kendrick Lamar and comedians like Tig Notaro and Pete Holmes performed sets.

We were there as well, but instead of putting the recorder in our hands, we gave it to comedian Jen Kirkman. She just released a Netflix comedy special called “I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine)” and she performed throughout the festival weekend. Between her sets, Jen recorded her experience hanging out with her comedic peers.
