With all-new material following the success of his first full-hour comedy special for Netflix, Workin’ Man, Dusty Slay, the two-time winner of the Charleston Comedy Fest, is adding a stop where it all began on Saturday, October 5th, 2024 at the Gaillard Center.
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 5th at 10 am at gaillardcenter.org. Gaillard Center Members receive pre-sale access. To learn more about the Membership program, contact the Advancement Office at info@gaillardfoundation.org or (843) 718-1578.
“We’re having a good time,” Slay says, clearly in on the joke. “I’ve worked every job you can work, and going on the road and performing for audiences is by far the best one I’ve ever had. I hope it’s a chance for folks who work hard to come out and enjoy a laugh on me.”
In a weekend profile, The Tennessean notes, “Slay's adeptness at crafting straightforward, dryly delivered, blue-collar humor, the spaces in which his career has expanded most significantly are logical,” while Deadline observes Slay is “part of a new wave of comics bringing the South to the forefront once again.”
On the heels of Workin’ Man, which Paste calls “an instant classic,” Slay’s new tour is carefully crafted to continue the good time.
The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and has a Comedy Central special to his credit . You can find more details at DustySlay.com.
