Hard to Say with Kyle Ayers

A comedy show about Trigeminal Neuralgia, aka ‘Suicide Disease’, chronic pain, brain surgery, pills, experiments, and when none of that works.
Kyle Ayers (Conan, Comedy Central) tries to make light of having Trigeminal Neuralgia, a rare nerve disorder known as Suicide Disease. Inherently already a funny topic, I know. Now he’s prepping to take his show to the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
Featured in the LA Times for both his comedy and the disease, Kyle performs his show about his experience living with the disease, getting misdiagnosed for years, getting brain surgery, the successful brain surgery eventually wearing off, and what life looks like when you may have tried everything and nothing works. God, I hope it's funnier than this description.
“The hardest I’ve ever laughed at the darkest jokes I’ve heard.” - Adam Conover
“One of the funniest people in LA for years now... an absolutely hysterical, gripping, and cathartic solo show.” - The Comedy Bureau
The show has been praised by the likes of Reggie Watts, Aparna Nancherla, Jermaine Fowler, and more.
