Dusty Slay joins me on the podcast today to discuss all things comedy. Dusty was born and raised in Alabama. He moved to Charleston, SC and got started at first by performing Improv comedy. He tried a little stand-up comedy. His first set was great. But then the following shows were not that good and he took a four year break before trying again. Lucky for us, the second time around stuck and he has been onstage since 2008. So, ten years into comedy is where we pick up today. DUSTY SLAY SHOW NOTES: Specifically, Dusty Slay and I talk about: Growing up (and writing about) living in a trailer park Learning to write about real life How real life comedy is easier to remember Performing sober since 29 years old Moving to Nashville to be more geographically centered Landing in a new town with an hour of solid material Moving up into headlining at comedy clubs Resetting the stage when following high energy Experimenting with crowd work Adjusting delivery for different types of audience Slowing down enough to allow the audience to react Accepting comics who are different than you What led up to Dusty’s Jimmy Kimmel appearance The role comedy festivals played in the appearance The value of keeping a five minute set handy Developing a YouTube channel and much, much more!
