Emmy-nominated/WGA Award winning writer and stand up comedian, as seen on After Midnight, CONAN & The Late Late Show, it’s Laurie Kilmartin!

Doors 6:45, Show starts promptly at 7pm

Laurie Kilmartin is a comedian and an Emmy-nominated/WGA Award-winning writer for CONAN. She has also written for the 2025 Academy Awards ceremony, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, The Late Late Show, and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. She has performed standup on CONAN, The Late LateShow with James Corden, Comedy Central and Showtime. Her one-hour comedy special Cis Woke Grief Slut was named one of the best comedy specials of 2024 by NPR’s Bullseye with Jesse Thorn. Major festival appearances include Just for Laughs, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the 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 new album, Corset, was released at #1 on the iTunes charts. Laurie’s recent TV appearances include After Midnight (CBS), The Talk(CBS), Sherri (syndicated) and being interviewed by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on Gutsy Women(AppleTV).

Laurie’s standup special 45 Jokes About My Dead Dad made Vulture's list of Top Ten Comedy Specials of 2016. 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.”

"Like Carlin, what makes Kilmartin’s comedy truly edgy is not the way she expresses her thoughts, but the thoughts themselves...One of the reasons we don’t have tons of Carlin disciples running around is because it takes hefty comedy chops to pull off. With her impeccable writing and classic, open, confident delivery, Kilmartin has the skills in spades, and this lean, explosive, hysterical — and yes, edgy — masterpiece is the result." - Vulture

Hashtag Comedy Club presents Jimmy Pardo! 7 PM and 9 PM Shows - Doors open 15 minutes before showtime (6:45 and 8:45)

A seasoned veteran of comedy clubs and late-night television, Jimmy Pardo has made hundreds of TV appearances, including “The Tonight Show”, "Conan,” and "The Late Late Show," and he hosts the award-winning podcast “Never Not Funny.”

Over the years, he has hosted “National Lampoon's Funny Money" for Game Show Network, four seasons of AMC's "Movies at Our House," Nerdist’s “Write Now!” and episodes of NBC's "Late Friday,” VH1's "The Surreal Life" and "The Playboy Morning Show.” Most recently, Jimmy hosted the critically acclaimed Science Channel show “Race To Escape.”

Utilizing his trademark crowd work skills, Jimmy spent almost a decade as Conan O'Brien's opening act at "Conan" tapings. Jimmy also appeared on "Conan" as a panel guest, a field correspondent, and filled in as co-host. He also conducted unconventional celebrity backstage interviews for Teamcoco.com's "The Pardo Patrol."

Dubbed a podcasting pioneer, in 2006, Jimmy began hosting the raucous-but-smart weekly podcast "Never Not Funny", which Entertainment Weekly called "one of the sharpest and gut-bustingest shows on the Internet." The show has been named a top comedy podcast by The AV Club, Esquire, GQ, and USA Today, and its guest list reads like a Who’s Who of Hollywood (Jon Hamm, Amy Poehler, Rob Reiner, Paul Reiser, and Sarah Silverman, to name a few). Never Not Funny also hosts the annual Pardcast-A-Thon fundraiser, a 12-hour marathon webcast to benefit Smile Train. The Pardcast-A-Thons have raised almost two million dollars for the charity. Jimmy has recorded three comedy albums: "Uno," "Pompous Clown," & "Sprezzatura," which Entertainment Weekly named one of the 5 Best Stand-Up Albums of the year.
