Workin' Man

This whole special was filed with solid humor, but somehow it just didn't win me over. His dry style is typically exactly what I enjoy, but the entire thing just kind of felt...flat. One thing that seemed promising at first was that the crowd seemed to really love every word he said, but as the special drove on I wondered what I was missing since the crowd seemed to really laugh heavily at every single joke.

Ultimately, I wanted to enjoy this more, but it ended up just being mostly humorous.

I'll look for more from him in the future and hope other specials engage me more, but I don't think I'd revisit this one.

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.

Dusty is truly a breath of fresh air. There are a lot of "comics" out there, but he is the real deal with well crafted jokes and great stories from his life...you get the feeling that what you see on stage is who he really is, and that is rare. Dusty seems to have great timing too, so the jokes really flow well with the audience. He even handles a good hearted heckler making you laugh out loud with his comeback. Did I mention he is CLEAN? Netflix hit it out of the park with this special-so get ready to kick back, relax and enjoy a hilarious 1:10 minutes. PS Watch through the credits for a special bonus.

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...

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!
