FAR OUT! is a queer stand up comedy showcase at 10Forward in Greenfield, MA. This showcases promises to be hilarious (and probably very out there), and features a combination of local and national talent. Come out with us Thursday, September 22nd and let's get weird!
Caitlin Arcand (she/her) is a writer, producer and comedian. A native of Boston, Caitlin Arcand is a comedian using her psychology degree for anything but being a psychologist. Her candid stories and brutally honest accounts of her daily life have been heard on stages all over the country, recently appearing at The North Carolina Comedy Festival and The Portland Maine Comedy Festival. She was recently named one of Buzzfeed's 2021 Women to Watch for her woman-centered humor platform Ladyspike Media.

Before pursuing her comedic stylings, she was a theatrical performer and singer for over 10 years.
