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. 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 weekly 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 30 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).
Most recently, Cara taped a live set for Crooked Media’s Lovett or Leave It Stand Up Special and released her debut stand up album, Straight for Pay, which Paste Magazine called “hilariously acerbic.” She is set to film her first one hour comedy special at the El Portal Theatre in Los Angeles with Comedy Dynamics April 5th 2023.
Connors is a graduate of the Second City Conservatory in Toronto and has trained extensively with the 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.
