You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the boy… Stand-up comedian Dusty Slay grew up on Lot 8 of a mobile home neighborhood in Opelika, Alabama, and his observational comedy and eternally optimistic outlook is peppered with ironies: growing up poor, a love for both hard-core country and classic rock, a career history peppered with jobs like waiting tables and selling pesticides, and what counts as fashion-forward thinking in his world. The trucker hat, long hair and mustache, flannel shirt and oversized glasses aren’t affectations to cultivate a stage persona as the B-side of a 1970-something Bob Seger single—it’s just Slay.
“There’s still a lot of jokes to come. I looked at everything as experience,” he says. “Let’s not get mad about it, let’s enjoy it.”
Just this year, at age 36, Slay has become the youngest comedian to ever perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry Stage in his adopted hometown of Nashville. He’s notched three appearances in front of “my people” at the Holy Land of country music in less than six months and has also been tapped to host CMA Festival’s Forever Country Stage in June to keep fans laughing between appearances by the biggest stars in country music.
The breakout comedian has a Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring and has appeared twice on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He’s also appeared live on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Comic Standing, David Spade’s “Lights Out” show, and regular stints on The Bob & Tom Radio Show…as well as a host of live appearances across the country.
Dusty was just picked as one of 2019's Top Comics to Watch by Variety Magazine. Dusty also has a podcast called “We’re Having A Good Time” with his wife Hannah Hogan.
Topics covered:
- Stand up comedy for drummers
- The first time doing the Tonight Show
- Blacking out vs. passing out
