Laura Jayne Martin has performed at Pine Box Rock Shop, Niagara, How I Learned, Tell Your Friends, Powerhouse Arena, and elsewhere. She wrote one book and is writing another one now — both of them are meant to be funny. Her mom thinks they’re just “okay.” She has also written for McSweeney’s, The Village Voice, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, The Toast, and elsewhere on the Internet. She tweets @laurajaynemart, but she gets all of her news from actual birds
