Workin' Man

Standup comedian dusty slays plays at the bijou theatre in knoxville tennessee. He talks about funny experiences at past jobs. And being mistaken for an employee in other stores. Why he doesn't tuck his shirt in. And how to smoke a ciggie without using your hands! Tobacco chew versus smoking. And what the store clerks say when you're buying your evil habits. What it's like to lose your appendix. He's also done a real ted talk on stage. (it's on youtube... you can watch it!) having a good time. The ups and downs of setting up his own web site. The good things and the bad things in a travis tritt song. And why the words in those travis tritt songs are confusing. He has good timing! And a good connection with the audience. Lots of hand motions, and he talks about it. Buying weed. But just the low key stuff. Not looking for anything too intense. Really good stuff. Extra credit for staying away from religion and politics!

His special was really funny - girlfriend and I were cracking up throughout. Dusty's style is unique and in the most endearing, refreshing way. The writing is really well done and relatable. Really fun delivery to accentuate the material that draws you right in.

Also, the person that wrote the review that you had to be from the South or something to enjoy his material is just a hater and clearly not having a good time. Gf and I both grew up quite differently from Dusty but still relate and love his work - including this special.

Fire up the special, sit back and enjoy the next hour. Pick up a few Dustyisms and understand why we're having a good time.

I gave this program a shot during the winter storm in the Pacific Northwest.

Not sure who likes this kind of comedy. I'm not some redneck trucker from the south and that's basically who he's playing to. The shrieks from the ladies must be because they are drunk at the show or it's fake laughing. Maybe it was a laugh track.

How many times does he have to say we're having a good time here? I wasn't. Turned this off after half a hour of nothing.

Lets see, he told jokes about smoking, chewing tobacco, tucking his shirt in, working at restaurants or as a salesman. Yeah, funny?

Thanks for wasting my time Netflix. Skip this one. 1/10.

There's something about Dusty's kind of dry (and maybe a little bit awkward) delivery that gets me. I think the word is deadpan? Whatever it is, it's good.

He's the rare kind of comedian who can get laughs without being crass, talking politics, or using exaggerated physical humor. That's not to say that those things are bad; plenty of my favorite comedians use those tactics but it's refreshing that Dusty doesn't, and he doesn't have to.

He's able to tell stories with a funny punchline without getting playing on people's hot-topic emotions. And while his comedy is clean, it's far from simple. He's got his own kind of flow, the timing is smart, and the way he arranges everything is intelligent.

In short, I definitely had a good time.

This guy is hilarious 🤣. Make sure u watch if u need a good laugh.

Well...that was my review. But apparently it's too short?! I'm sorry what? Oooooooook. So what else is there to say?

It's a standup comedy. I'm watching this with my wife. We are not Siskel and Ebert doing a review. We are just laughing constantly so I thought I would share. Just wanted to leave a quick note other than just a star rating.

If you are going to make limits on the length of a review, at least separate the length required by category. A standup comedy should not require anything. If you were to not want to write a review, and just leave a star with no comment, can you?

The whole length requirement is absurd, but even moreso for a stand-up comedy.

Like I said if you want to laugh watch this guy...
