She is the co-author of "Sh*tty Mom, The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us." Her hour long standup special on Seeso, "45 Jokes About My Dead Dad," was named one of the Best Comedy Specials of 2016 by Decider, Paste and Vulture. Some reviews: “[Kilmartin] describes her impulse as making ‘something precise out of something wild and huge and terrifying,’ but she pulls off something even more ambitious: showing that comedy can tell a story of complexity and nuance and emotional power.” – The New York Times “45 Jokes About My Dead Dad feels like a gift. Kilmartin delivers exactly as promised, and the result is a hilarious, painful, cathartic hour of comedy.” - Vulture “Brusque brilliance…unblinking gallows humor that dares to find the funny in a situation that would have flattened most people” - Paste “A cathartic release” – Decider “45 Jokes’s emotional pull gives it depth not typically seen in an hour-long standup special, but [Kilmartin] also relishes the gallows humor.” - The Daily Dot “One of the most important, timely and best comedy specials of 2016.” – The Comic’s Comic “Extraordinary…The most beautifully dark, funny, touching, heartbreaking, laugh through your tears piece of filmmaking you’ll see in comedy this year.” - The Interrobang “Kilmartin really showcases how powerful comedy can be.” – The Comedy Bureau “Raw and clever…Beautifully, 45 Jokes About My Dead Dad captures humanity.” - The Laugh Button “45 Jokes is masterful and whole.” - Courting Comedy
