The Elephant In My Head with Kyle Ayers

Comedian Kyle Ayers feels funniest when he's not in control. But after brain surgery for Trigeminal neuralgia, he wondered whether he could be funny at all. He joins Mo this week to discuss how he's reclaimed a sense of adventure on stage, why he thinks stand-up is becoming a more patient art form, and what it was like to perform in an Edinburgh plague crypt. Kyle revels in the fact that his comedy isn't always legible to audiences scrolling on social media, but lucky for Brooklyn listeners, he'll be performing his solo show Hard to Say at Union Hall this Saturday, April 5. The show's sold out but there'll be a standby line! You can follow Kyle on Instagram @kyleayers, and make sure to listen to his podcast Never Seen It, where comedians (including Mo!) rewrite famous movies they've never seen.
