Laurie Kilmartin’s “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad”
Beloved veteran stand-up Laurie Kilmartin recently wrote so thoughtfully about coming up as a female standup, and what might have been different if she was a guy.
I first encountered Laurie in 2014 when her Twitter account went viral as she live-tweeted her dad’s death.
7 yo son asked how Grandpa got lung cancer. I said, "Well, he quit a long time ago, but for many many years, Grandpa played Minecraft."

Her comedy special called “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad” is very funny and very real – everything I want from my comedy.
