Dusty breaks down the real steps of the comedy grind — from open mic purgatory to Netflix glory with his 2024 hour special Workin’ Man and his upcoming Netflix July special Wet Heat. He also gives the deets of what it’s like to be a part of the Nateland Podcast w Nate Bargatze. He shares what it takes to bomb, to rise, and to know when a bit’s ready.

Dusty Slay is havin’ a good time, and you’re coming with.
