**New 1-hour comedy special Cara Connors: Straight for Pay STREAMING NOW on Amazon Prime!**

“A frenetic charm and a powerhouse voice that shifts from giggly to laid-back to demonic in a flash. It’s a promising debut.”
Jason Zinoman, New York Times

As seen on Just For Laughs, Hulu, Apple TV & more! Cara Connors is an LA-based comedian, actor, writer, and multifaceted homosexual with an ass that won’t quit. Cara stars on Dating #NoFilter on E! and her feminist investigative comedy series, Cara Takes Up Space, is now streaming on OUTtv. Most recently, Cara was invited into The Groundlings Sunday Company, filmed a set for Crooked Media’s Lovett or Leave It, and her debut stand-up album Straight for Pay was named one of Paste Magazine’s Comedy Albums of the Year.

“Hilariously acerbic. Connors’ vocal elasticity is truly a wonder, immediately bringing to mind Adam Sandler’s goofy impressions. At other moments, hearing Connors deliver a line in a strange, high-pitched manner makes you feel like you’ve been dropped into a Broad City episode and Ilana’s doing a bit.“

In 2018, she performed at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, and in 2019 debuted her hour-long stand-up show at the New York Comedy Festival as a part of the Upright Citizens Brigade series.

A headliner at comedy shows across Los Angeles, Cara also hosts a popular monthly queer showcase and has developed a cult following with her unique brand of high energy, self-effacing, and unapologetically fearless comedy. Her acclaimed solo show and first international tour, Straight for Pay, recently completed a successful 35-city run at some of the most highly regarded indie comedy venues in North America and Europe (The Hideout Chicago, Union Hall NYC, Dynasty Typewriter at the Hayworth, Berlin Fringe, Museum of Comedy London) before debuting this summer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Pleasance Courtyard.

Connors is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory in Toronto and has trained extensively with the Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade. She is the creator, writer, and star of two original series for CBC Comedy, the comedic voice behind the social media for Workin’ Moms, and a writer for Brat TV. Cara is also the creator and star of a 90-Day Fiancé impersonation series on Instagram with half a million views. Cara is a fearless weirdo and enthusiastic creator of chaos known for her physical performances, earnest yet unhinged original characters, and absurdist takes on the struggles of modern life.
