Caitlin Arcand

Caitlin Arcand is a comedian, screenwriter, director and producer using her psychology degree for anything but being a psychologist. Her candid stories have been heard on stages all over the country, notably appearing at The NC Comedy Festival, Solocom NYC, The Portland Comedy Festival and her parents’ living room. As an award-winning screenwriter, she specializes in “the worst people you know,” bringing to life all of the unsavory characters that the East Coast has to offer.

 

Her debut feature, "Burn Baby Burn" is currently in development after winning Best Feature Screenplay at Hollywood International Diversity and Best Feature Dialogue at Flight Deck Film Festival. Caitlin has also produced the two award-winning queer short films, "Happy Hour" and "Oreo."

 

As a performer, she has become a staple in the Boston queer arts scene, producing and performing alongside drag performers who hate her makeup. In 2021, she was named one of CitiBank and Buzzfeed's Women to Watch for her women/LGBTQ+ centered humor platform, inspired by two sold-out years of Boston's only all-female comedy show, which she founded and hosted.

 

Caitlin moonlights as a "business woman," working in film and TV as a marketing & screenwriting executive. She has tackled her career with an “I’ll try anything once,” approach which has landed her in places including: running a weekly late night show in a crowded Boston sports bar and directing a multi-cam water polo match for ESPN, a skill she had approximately 5 minutes to acquire.
