Personal Details

Bio

Mimi Hayes is a New York-based comedian and author of the memoir "I'll Be OK, It's Just a Hole in My Head." A former high school teacher and brain injury survivor, Hayes wrote her first humorous memoir while recovering from a traumatic head injury at the age of twenty-two.

Her honest take on trauma and love followed her to the stage as a stand-up comedian where she has performed on stages such as Denver Comedy Works, Broadway Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, Dangerfield's, and The Upright Citizen's Brigade. She was recently highlighted by Mogul as a "New York City Comedian To Look Out For in 2018" and is currently writing a Ted Talk as well as several other memoirs and novels.

She is a touring comedian and speaker and has done keynote speeches for The Brain Injury Alliances of Colorado and Arizona. She has appeared on local news stations such as Fox31, 9News, and AZTV's Mix Morning Show. Her use of comedy in the face of head injury has gained her notoriety in the brain injury community as she builds her network and inspires other survivors with her story. Catch her newest podcast "Mimi and The Brain," a comedic neuroscience podcast, available now on all podcast streaming devices. You can cyberstalk her at mimihayes.com, follow her on Twitter and Instagram (@mimihayesbrain), or send her a carrier pigeon.
