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!   DUSTY SLAY ONLINE: Dusty Slay on Jimmy Kimmel: https://youtu.be/o5j4Y5pcbr0 Dusty Slay web site: http://dustyslay.com Dusty Slay Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlqb-g3sQjQ DUSTY SLAY BIO Slay has appeared on several network shows including ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

After 21 years of “growing up” in Longford, Ireland, Sean Finnerty decided to move stateside where a series of mature decisions that he failed to make led him to stand up comedy. Sean first cut his teeth in the Orlando comedy scene and quickly learned that his no holds barred humor and charming accent were well received (when people could actually understand what he was saying). Selected for Comedy Central's Up Next competition and as a semi-finalist in both the 2014 Florida's Funniest Comedian Competition and the 2014 Charleston Comedy Festival, Sean has been seen at comedy clubs and festivals across the Southeast, including The Improv, the Orlando Fringe Festival, the Orlando Indie Comedy Festival, and at Gringos Locos Tacos at 3 in the morning after a night out. He has worked alongside touring headliners such as Dan Cummins, Mick Foley, Tommy Johnagin, Shane Mauss, Sean Patton, Rich Vos, Bobby Slayton, Mark Normand, Joe List, Maronzio Vance, Ben Kronberg, and Dustin Diamond. Born and raised in Ireland, comedian Sean Finnerty offers a unique perspective on everyday life. A finalist at the 2014 Florida's Funniest Comedian Competition and the 2014 Charleston Comedy Festival, Finnerty brings his brash, unapologetic and distinctive perspective to the Dog and Bone British Pub this weekend… @SeanyFinnerty #KCIrishFest #KansasCity #IrishComedy #SlackerMorningShow101theFox #TMobile
