Kyle Ayers is a comedian from Missouri currently based in Los Angeles who hosts the popular podcast and live show, Never Seen It, where comedians rewrite famous movies and TV shows they’ve never seen. You may have seen Ayers perform his stand-up on Conan or earlier this year on the OnlyFans comedy showcase, LMAOF.
Ayers also created and hosted the live comedy show, Boast Rattle, which as it name suggests is the opposite of Roast Battle, and which he adapted for the aborted streamer Quibi as Nice One! Ayers met up with me during the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, where Ayers has debuted a new hour, Hard To Say, in which he describes his ordeals with chronic pain since 2017, when he discovered he was suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia, a condition also sometimes referred to as Suicide Disease. Because of the subject matter, I also want you to know that if you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available by calling or texting 988.
Kyle Ayers may seem like he’s more than OK joking about it on the outside, but how is he holding up on the inside? I asked him. There’s a lot to get to, so let’s get to it!
Here’s a happy-go-lucky intro to Ayers circa January 2020 when he performed on Conan, joking about his family background back in Missouri.
He released his debut comedy album, Happiness, later in 2020:
Kyle Ayers: Hard To Say continues his run at the Edinburgh Fringe through Aug. 24, 2024.
He then performs the show in September in Chicago at The Lincoln Lodge. Click Kyle’s site for updated touring info.
And for something completely different, here’s a recent clip from Kyle’s podcast, Never Seen It, featuring Will Miles and guest Jon Lovett rewriting Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.
