Comedian Kayla Hardy was born and raised in Los Angeles, but that’s not what made her bitter. At a young age, she was sent off to Catholic school where she never quite fit in with the sexy school girl aesthetic. Instead, she won over her classmates with her acerbic wit & blistering dead pan delivery. Fittingly, Kayla went on to produce the wildly popular comedy shows, “Bitter Critics” & “LA vs. Transplants” in LA, San Diego & beyond and she’s performed at some of the biggest clubs in the country. Kayla also wrote and produced a short film called “Corpse Shamed” because only in Los Angeles can you still be body shamed when you’re dead.
