‘Have You Tried Brain Surgery??’ is the story of the neurodivergent, bruised yet brilliant brain of archaeologist/comedian, KC Martin-Stone.
Join KC and her unique brain as she guides audiences on a journey through the history of brain surgery and Western medicine, navigating an obstacle course of well-wishers and wellness influencers while battling for treatment to an unknown condition.
KC has a brain and she's not afraid to use it in a bold show that traverses five years of misdiagnosis and medical adventures.
But through it all, KC has emerged on a mission. Accused of maybe just failing to think enough happy thoughts, she's here to share her hilarious insights into chronic illness and the limitations of ten-minute medicine.
Presented by In Depth Archaeology Productions, which creates entertainment that brings the past into the present, ‘Have You Tried Brain Surgery??’ gives audiences a unique view into the workings of a neurodivergent mind.

KC deftly blends personal anecdotes with years of academic research into a singular comedy style that is equally factual and funny.
When not appearing at comedy festivals, you can find KC anywhere from an Outback archaeological dig to corporate boardrooms and comedy club stages.
Witty and sensitive with a dash of dark humour, KC Martin-Stone is unearthing, dusting off and debunking long-held stereotypes about neurodivergence.
KC Martin-Stone plays The Piglet (open-air) at Gluttony - Rymill Park (Adelaide Fringe) 17 February-5 March.
