Hoping you are all refreshed from the long Labor Day weekend! Keep those rested vibes going with some comedy news. September 4th through the 14th, SoHo Playhouse will present the Off-Broadway premiere of Hard To Say, A Comedy Show About Life with Chronic Pain, written and performed by 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival Best Newcomer Award Nominee Kyle Ayers (“Conan”), running in a limited engagement.
In Hard To Say, Ayers tells jokes and stories and shares his experience living with chronic pain. For years he has lived with a rare nerve disorder, Trigeminal Neuralgia (aka “Suicide Disease), which causes frequent sudden and intense pain in his head and face. Featured in the Los Angeles 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. We’ve got to laugh at some point.
You may have seen the standup comic and writer on CONAN, Comedy Central, or heard on his #1 on iTunes comedy debut album “Happiness.” He’s performed at Just for Laughs Montreal, Bonnaroo, The New York Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, and all over the world. Don’t miss the chance to Ayer’s show which Alex Edelman describes as “a show as well-crafted as it is hilarious.” Enjoy!
