Laurie Kilmartin is a stand-up comedian and an Emmy-nominated, WGA award-winning comedy writer. She was a staff writer for all 11 years on Conan on TBS, where she also performed her stand up routines. She has also appeared on the Late Late Show w/ James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Comedy Central. She was a Top 10 finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, as was a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF 3 times.
Kilmartin is the author of Shitty Mom, a NY Times bestselling comedy about parenting, and Dead People Suck, a comedic memoir about grief. Her special, 45 Jokes about my Dead Dad, was named one of Vulture’s Top Ten Comedy Specials. Her new special, Cis Woke Grief Slut, just dropped and is available on platforms everywhere. Check out a clip here. She co-hosts the popular podcast, The Jackie and Laurie Show, with fellow powerhouse comedian Jackie Kashian, in which they discuss women and comedy. Her new album, Corset, was released at #1 on the iTunes charts. Laurie was most recently seen on Apple TV’s Gutsy Women series, being interviewed by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
Laurie became interested in standup after seeing one too many male comics talk about women. Why shouldn’t a woman talk about women? She has since worked one-nighters, comedy clubs, casinos and wars to prove herself worthy of becoming an absolute powerhouse comedian in today’s world, and is not to be missed, or trifled with.
So don’t miss her on our stage, or you’ll regret it! Get your tickets now!!

"Hands down one of the best places to perform in the country. It's how a comedy club is supposed to be! It's in a basement, it's dark and the audiences are great. The AA Showcase offers a talented variety of comedians and they are supportive of the local stand up scene."

This comedy club was great, great drinks, great wait staff and no matter where you're seated you'll have a great view of the stage. The comics were hilarious and me and my friends had an awesome time. Kristin Keys was hilarious � if you ever get a chance to see her GO!!
