From Southern comedian Dusty Slay, the beloved everyman behind Netflix’s Wet Heat and Workin’ Man specials, comes a memoir-in-essays featuring his signature storytelling and finding the hilarity in the everyday, for fans of Nate Bargatze and Leanne Morgan.

Dusty Slay has lived a lot of lives. At eighteen years old, he dropped out of community college. At nineteen, his plans to join the army were foiled by an arrest. By twenty-one, he moved from his hometown of Opelika, Alabama, to Charleston, South Carolina. From slinging fish at Hyman’s Seafood, living on a steady diet of fast food, and moonlighting as an obscure, often drunk, open mic comedian, life was a wild ride.

It wasn’t until he quit drinking in 2012 that he started to take comedy, and his unique talent for telling jokes, seriously. After his career began to take off, he left a respectable job selling pesticides to hit the road as touring comedian. Now, he’s left the trailer park behind and lives in a neighborhood where he’s battling the local HOA instead of friendly heroin addicts, and planting his own kale in the backyard.

From growing up in Opelika to performing at the Grand Ole Opry, these essays cover all the ups and downs with his trademark humor and wit, revealing that sometimes, life in the trailer park might just be easier (and funnier) than life as a semi-famous comedian.
