Almost Hot
ALMOST HOT is a comedic solo show about hotness.
In 2015, Cailin received a Facebook message from a stranger who deemed her “almost hot.” A decade later, Cailin’s hour-long solo show cheekily interrogated and arbitrated one of our most pervasive but underexplored cultural concepts: hotness.
Cailin performed Almost Hot to several hot audiences in New York and Los Angeles.
She is working on a follow-up show that requires her to say “hot” fewer times.
Audience Feedback
“I was laughing and learning the entire time. I felt seen and also like we were seeing you. It was the perfect blend of wit, truth, silliness, and courage.”
“So funny, sharp, beautifully written, so well told. We had a blast… and were thoroughly entertained! Do it AGAIN! More people need to see this show.”
“[The show’s] words struck me and made me think and laugh… It was thrilling.”
“I laughed, I had moments of introspection, and I learned something about myself - that so much of how we see ourselves is purely a mental game. What a great reminder that I am the arbiter of my own hotness.”
“The show was so great. Insightful, smart, and funny. We loved it. It has a very bright future.”
