Laurie Kilmartin is a comedian and was an Emmy-nominated/WGA Award-winning writer for CONAN. She is currently a staff writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as the Oscars (2025 and 2026). She has performed standup on CONAN, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central and Showtime. Her one-hour comedy special Cis Woke Grief Slut was named one of the best of 2024 by NPR’s Bullseye and can be seen on Hulu. Major festival appearances include multiple appearances at the Montreal Just for Laughs Fest, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Austin’s Moontower Comedy Festival.
Laurie has written two books, Dead People Suck and the New York Times bestseller Shitty Mom. She and fellow comic Jackie Kashian host a popular podcast about standup comedy called The Jackie and Laurie Show. Her last album, Corset, was released at #1 on the iTunes charts. Laurie’s recent TV appearances include Have I Got News for You? (CNN), After Midnight (CBS), The Talk (CBS), Sherri (syndicated) and Gutsy Women (being interviewed by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on their AppleTV series).
In a January 2024 profile piece, the Los Angeles Times said that “Kilmartin has become one of the most fearless, respected performer-writers in the L.A. standup scene.” Sirius/XM listeners have heard Laurie's show, Standups on Conan, on the Conan O'Brien network.
