Kirk made his breakthrough into the comedy circuit by winning the "So You Think You"re Funny?" competition in 2010. His first television appearance came in 2010, when he played Malky in Nesbitt.
He also appeared in Channel 4"s "Comedy Blaps" series, in which he wrote and starred in the short online sketches "Kronicles of Kirk." However, it was in Greg McHugh"s British Academy of Film and Television Arts award winning sitcom Gary: Tank Commander, in which he played Jeff the Chef, that he was brought to the attention of a wider audience.
Following appearances in television shows such as Bob Servant Independent and the television film "Two Doors Down", he starred in two comedies for British Broadcasting Corporation Scotland. The first, entitled "Scot Squad" came as a result of a successful pilot episode in late 2012.
A new series of the show will air in November 2014. Kirk also worked on the comedy "How Do I Get Up There?" alongside his co-stars Chris Forbes and Kevin Mains, which will be shown in Scotland during November 2014.
