Dr Kara Kibara – The Love Guru is a 60-minute solo comedy show at Cellar, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Performed by Joyce Lao and produced by The Ally Artists Group, the show follows Dr Kara Kibara as she presents a hybrid TED talk, workshop and transformation-improv performance, offering advice on manifesting love while unintentionally reflecting on her own past and why she is still single. The show features her unreleased original songs recorded during a Columbia Records mentorship. Suitable for ages 18+, tickets are £2.50. Audience participation is part of the experience.
Why see this show?
A playful, self-aware performance that mixes comedy formats — TED talk, improv, workshop — with original music from an unexpected source. The character's obliviousness to her own contradictions is the source of the comedy.
