Solo Mio:
Debbie Kasper, Robert Dubac preview solo shows this Nov.
ahead of a monthlong solo festival at the Odyssey in Feb.
Los Angeles (October 22, 2026) — Two-time Emmy nominee, former writer for The Rosie O’Donnell Show and Roseanne, comedian and award-winning solo artist Debbie Kasper and writer, actor and stand-up comic Robert Dubac will each present one performance of their acclaimed solo shows at West L.A.’s Odyssey Theatre under the collective title Solo Mio. Presented as a benefit for the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, the November 21–22 performances offer a preview of the Odyssey’s upcoming month-long Solo Mio festival in February, which will include two additional solo works.
Directed by award-winning Second City alumnus Chris Barnes and featuring original music by Wyn Wilson woven throughout, Kasper’s I Can’t Do This By Myself is a raw, funny and deeply moving story of resilience, recovery, grief and redemption that Stage Raw calls “hilarious and unexpected.” What begins as a comic struggle to write the very show we are watching gradually reveals a much deeper story.
Ever wish Jesus would come back as a stand-up comedian? Well, your prayers have been answered. The second coming is no longer coming; it’s here, and it’s Dubac’s Stand-Up Jesus. Yes, your lord and savior is back, but this time he’s no carpenter. He’s a stand-up comedian hell-bent on preaching what was created on the eighth day: a sense of humor. Shining the light of truth on false prophets, duplicitous politicians and immoral sheeple, J.C.’s razor-sharp satire has been intelligently designed to redeem sinners of all faiths.
I Can’t Do This By Myself performs on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. Stand-Up Jesus takes place Sunday, Nov. 22, at 3 p.m. All tickets are $30, plus a $3 fee for credit card purchases. A reception follows the Saturday evening performance and is included in the ticket price.
The Odyssey Theatre is located at 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (310) 477-2055 or visit OdysseyTheatre.com.
