Alabama-born longtime Nashvillian Dusty Slay is no stranger to the pages of the Scene’s Best of Nashville issue. We named him our Best Comedian in the 2019 writers’ choices, and he landed at second place in the Best Comedian category of last year’s readers’ poll — right behind his buddy and Nateland Podcast co-host Nate Bargatze. But Slay’s star has remained on the rise, and his rock-solid Netflix special Workin’ Man, released in July, shows why he’s our pick once again. Armed with an understated delivery, a charming drawl, relatable but silly premises and a contagious catch phrase (“We’re having a good time”), Slay is the kind of guy you know you’d like to get a beer with. Well. He doesn’t drink beer anymore. Maybe a nice glass of milk.
