about arlo

Arlo Matthews is a stand-up comic, improviser, and writer based in sunny San Diego—by way of her native New York City roots. She identifies as an OWL (Old White Lady). With a sharp wit and PG-rated charm, Arlo’s comedy brilliantly bridges generational gaps, bringing Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Zs together in laughter.
Her signature material covers everything from misadventures on the pickleball court (and the inevitable ER visits), to the quirky logistics of the afterlife, to her unshakable loyalty to her Sicilian dog.
In a “previous life,” Arlo penned and ghostwrote over 50 books spanning humor, memoir, nonfiction, and fiction—including the satirical Amazon bestseller The Mothers of Country Day.
Above all, Arlo just wants to make you laugh. Because let’s be honest—what else really matters?
