You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the boy. Comedian Dusty Slay grew up on Lot 8 of a mobile home 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. 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. At age 36, Slay has become the youngest comedian to ever perform at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in his adopted hometown of Nashville. He’s 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’s Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring premiered in May 2019, along with multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He’s also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Comic Standing, and his own Netflix Special Dusty Slay: Workin' Man. Dusty was picked as one of The Top Comics to Watch by Variety Magazine.
