About the Show
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 interrogates and arbitrates one of our most pervasive but underexplored cultural concepts: hotness.
Watch Cailin attempt to close her “hotness gap” in front of a live audience - before it’s too late! The show is thought-provoking, witty, and dare we say… (almost) hot?
Cailin has performed Almost Hot to sold out audiences in New York and hopes to bring it to more cities in 2025.
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.”
