Copies of My Life in the Sunshine will be available for sale\, and Ayers will sign them following the talk. \nThis is a free\, all ages event.

Brad has made 3 stand-up appearances on CONAN. His debut comedy album Sweet Nothings was released on Jack White’s rock label\, Third Man Records and can be heard on SiriusXM. Paste Magazine described Brad’s 2023 special\, joke. joke. joke. as “Watching Wenzel feels like hanging out with your funniest\, weirdest friend; it’s relaxing and utterly enjoyable.” Since the age of 17\, Brad has toured the country\, honing his unique non-sequitur style of joke telling\, all while maintaining an original\, comedic voice. Simply put\, he’s really funny. Other appearances include “New Faces” at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival\, and Bob & Tom.  \nComrade Tripp \nComrade Tripp stopped growing decades ago. He is antisocial and never feels present. Yet\, he has found himself with a growing presence on social media. It is the only way he will ever find himself. He’s lost. He’s a loser. He can’t win. He has never won anything in his life\, and he never will. This is all that he has; a fraught flock of followers from afar\, who pity his painful pursuits of performance. He can’t juggle or whistle\, so alliteration is his only avenue of whimsy. Not all of his jokes are alliterative. Most of them are just kind of sad\, the rest are entirely sad. He still lives in Minnesota for some reason? To stick to his roots\, being in Minnesota keeps him sad. Despite his despondent disposition\, he’s a child at heart; insomuch that he cannot be trusted to take care of himself and has no self esteem whatsoever. The rest of his body feels very old.  \nRoni Shanell \nHailing from the Motor City \, Roni Shanell is a rising star in comedy. She began her career in 2015 and has been on fire ever since! She’s performed across the country at comedy clubs such as Hollywood Improv\, Chocolate Sundaes at the Laugh Factory in LA\, The Comedy Store\, Pittsburgh Improv\, Toledo Funny Bone\, Detroit House of Comedy.
