Author and Comedian Aaron Karo to Speak at Pitt March 24
PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh's Pitt Program Council will sponsor a lecture by author and comedian Aaron Karo at 8:30 p.m. March 24, William Pitt Union Assembly Room, 3959 Fifth Ave., Oakland.
The now 25-year-old Karo began his writing career while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He would send monthly e-mails, titled Ruminations on College Life, filled with comedic observations and stories about college to his friends. The e-mails attained a mass following, and by the time Karo graduated in 2001, he had more than 11,000 subscribers worldwide.
After moving to Manhattan to work on Wall Street, Karo sent a collection of his
e-mails to Simon & Schuster, who published them in Ruminations on College Life, in 2002. Karo left Wall Street to pursue a career in comedy and writing, and his latest book, Ruminations on Twentysomething Life, is scheduled to be published by Simon & Schuster in May.
General admission is $5 and free for students with a valid Pitt ID.
