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 Top Ten 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."

Are you a comic who wants to have baby? Perhaps this piece I wrote for Babble will make you reconsider.

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!
