My name is . I'm a comedian and writer. I've
performed at the Montreal, Aspen and Edinburgh comedy festivals, and
I've done standup on Comedy Central, Jimmy Kimmel and Showtime, and appeared on Best Week Ever, the Today Show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, The Rachel Maddow
Show and Fox & Friends and Oprah. I was a staff writer for the Late Late
Show, Tough Crowd and the Bonnie Hunt Show. I co-wrote Sherri Shepherd's memoir, and I was a finalist in Season 8 of NBC's Last Comic Standing. Finally, I just used the word "I" seven times in five sentences. Gross.
"Kilmartin had some good and sick baby material. We're used to the male perspective... but it's even sicker when the nurturing mother does it. Sick in a good way. Funny stuff." - What's So Funny
"Laurie Kilmartin has the superpower that separates comedians from civilians: the mystic vision necessary to see the humor in the mundane and the insane."
Shout out to an iTunes Dick: PFC Anderson, whose one-star review of my CD starts like this:
Women comedians are never funny. Why the f I bought it I have no
idea. Oh, I have an idea, PFC Anderson. You are a moron. You clearly
state that you don't think "women comedians" are funny. Then your scabby-meth fingers find ten dollars in your mom's wallet and what do you buy? A CD recorded by a "woman comedian."
You are retarded. I could see how, if my name was Chris or Pat, you could have thought I was a man when you clicked "download," but Laurie is not a unisex name. In fact, Laurie is always a woman's name, with one exception: Jo's boyfriend in Little Women, a book
I suspect you have not read. Do you hear me, private? And even if you are unclear on
standard lady names because so few of them consent to date you, my "woman comedian" picture is on the CD cover. iTunes clearly
displays the artwork. Carry on, you dumbass.
Buy "Permission Slips", the book I wrote with
View co-host Sherri
Shepherd.
Are you a comic who wants to have baby? Perhaps this piece I wrote for Babble will make you reconsider.
Jiimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap stuck me on their great podcast, Never Not Funny!
Marc Maron invited me to appear on his very popular podcast, WTF. With Jackie Kashian. Download it on iTunes (episode 50).

talk farts and slavery on Siskel and Negro
Detoxing from Last Comic Standing, in Austin. NSFW! Every dirty word I can think of (way more than seven) plus a surprise ending!
From the Season 8 debut of Last Comic Standing:
I googled my name and found this thread about my first LCS appearance, titled, "Disgusting." I joined in (screen name anylaurie), and the lady who started it agreed to see my show the next time I'm in North Carolina. See? We really can all get along!
First show of 2010... someone throws a roll at my head. Ah, comedy.
This "interview" with John Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, is from 2008. But that dizzy slut is back in the news, so let's re-visit!
