SoHo Playhouse will present the Off-Broadway premiere of Hard To Say, A Comedy Show About Life with Chronic Pain, written by Kyle Ayers (“Conan”), running September 4 - 14, 2025 in a limited engagement.
In Hard To Say, Kyle 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, 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.
