Show Me Your Dick: Cara Meyers Solo Show in LA

Cara Meyers is bringing her solo storytelling show, Show Me Your Dick: A Lifetime of Dating in a Larger Body, back to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. It is one of the more candid options among the things to do in Los Angeles this month for anyone who likes comedy with a personal edge.

When: Friday, Oct. 16, 2026 (a second performance is listed for Dec. 1) Where: Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, Los Angeles Tickets: Through the TheaterMania listing below

What the show is about

The premise is simple and a little provocative. Meyers spends her whole life hearing, directly and indirectly, that her body makes her undesirable. Then she finds that the men in her inbox apparently never got the memo. The show sits in that contradiction.

She tells the story through humor, dating-app messages and a selection of the unsolicited photos she has received over the years. The arc runs from growing up fat and navigating high school dating to the strange, often contradictory world of online dating.

Who is behind it

The show is directed by Margot Leitman, author of What's Your Story? and Long Story Short, both books about how to shape personal stories for an audience. That background shows in the format: this is storytelling first, with the jokes built into the narrative rather than stacked on top of it.

What to expect

Expect an adult, frank evening. The title is not a metaphor, and the material includes explicit messages and images, so this is not a family outing. The tone, though, is more funny and generous than shocking. It is a night about being desired, dismissed and judged because of your body, told by someone who has clearly thought hard about it.

If you are putting together a list of LA events this weekend, this is a good fit for a Friday night with a friend who appreciates honest, personal comedy.

Practical info

The listing shows the Oct. 16 date without a published start time, so check the TheaterMania page or the theatre's own schedule for door and show times before you go. Price was not listed at the time of writing. UCB's Los Angeles stage is a small room, which suits a one-person show, so plan to arrive early for a good seat.
