Shorties
Why She's On The Site: The first lady of
CH, Laurie is without question one of the top working comics in
NYC...The first time I've seen Laurie perform was at the Jim
Norton Roast in which CH named her the MVP. That night Laurie
referenced Vos' tanning habits to his dead Jewish ancestors in
the holocaust, Norton's liver spots to puncture wounds from a
coat hanger, and Greg Giraldo's apparent hatred for his wife...I
was curious to see if her regular act was similar, and it lives
up to her performance form that night...Laurie is a feminist's
nightmare. She will poke fun at rape, abortions, dating
minorities, and other sensitive topics most comedians couldn't
pull off. Her act isn't forced or a novelty like a certain Lisa
Lampenelli...One of the smartest & hardest working
performers I've seen
Official Bio: A seasoned comic who has
performed in Iraq, the United Kingdom, forty of the fifty US
States, the Montreal Comedy Festival and a laundromat, Laurie
Kilmartin's combination of quick crowd work, an engaging
personality and finely crafted jokes make her one of comedy's
funniest women. Laurie is currently a staff writer for Comedy
Central's "Tough Crown with Colin Quinn", and has
appeared on the show several times. Laurie also has been seen on
ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, the USO
Tour, Shorties' Watchin' Shorties and The World Stands Up, in
addition to appearances on the Metro Channel, A&E, and
Lifetime. Laurie currently lives in West Harlem, with her
people, the Dominicans. She would not move back to her home
state of California for all the money in the world.
