Comedian Dusty Slay is known for his trademark trucker hat, oversized glasses, long hair, and deadpan, clean, working-class humor. Born in Alabama and raised in an Opelika trailer park, Slay spent his early adulthood working odd jobs, including waiting tables and selling pesticides, before dedicating himself fully to comedy in 2008. By age 36, he became the youngest comedian to ever perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, firmly cementing his presence within Nashville’s vibrant entertainment scene. Slay’s unique ability to connect middle-American observational comedy with coastal crowds quickly propelled his mainstream profile. He has delivered standout late-night sets on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Slay’s comedy has reached global audiences through major streaming partnerships. Following his performance on season three of Netflix’s The Standups in 2021, he released his highly successful breakout one-hour special, Workin’ Man, on the platform in January 2024. He followed this momentum with his next major Netflix comedy special, Wet Heat, which premiered in July 2025.
