From the page to the stage, Aaron Karo’s insights into the mind of the twentysomething male have secured his place as the irreverent voice of a generation. In 1997, Karo, then a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, sent a funny email to twenty buddies from high school. That email spawned a regular “email column” entitled Ruminations, which soon attracted readers nationwide. Simon & Schuster published compilations of the column in two bestselling books, Ruminations on College Life and Ruminationson Twentysomething Life. After a brief detour on Wall Street, Karo began performing stand-up in 2002. Due to his growing cult following, he now headlines sold-out shows across the country. Originally from New York, Karo currently lives in Los Angeles where he writes for television and performs regularly at the Hollywood Improv. He continues to email Ruminations every two weeks and maintains an archive at his innovative web site, AaronKaro.com. The column, which began with twenty friends, now reaches over 50,000 subscribers around the world.
