Dusty Slay: Wet Heat

Dusty knocks it out of the trailer park again. Me and the wife watched and were laughing out loud the whole time. Great way to start a Tuesday morning and the wife's birthday. Thanks for the great time and laughs, Dusty! Highly recommend seeing him on tour as well. Hands downs the most fun I've had watching comedy.

As a big fan of Dusty Slay-especially through Nateland-I was really looking forward to Wet Heat. And to be fair, Dusty brought exactly what I love about him: that laid-back charm, his unique way of looking at the world, and the easygoing vibe that makes him so likable on stage.

That said, the special was a little disappointing overall. A lot of the material felt familiar, like I'd heard some of those jokes before. While I enjoyed the performance, it didn't hit me as being all that funny this time around.

For fellow Nateland fans, it's worth knowing this isn't a Nateland production-it's just Dusty on his own. Content-wise, it's generally clean, though there are a few jokes about prostitution and some light profanity sprinkled in.

In the end, Wet Heat still carries Dusty's signature charm, but for me it lacked the freshness and spark that I was hoping for.

I think this might be my favorite special of Dusty Slay's to date. His humor can be subtly witty, yet very down to earth. I spent a good portion of this set laughing out loud. There's just something special about his delivery that I love, I don't know how to describe it.

He's also amazing in person.

Dusty has proven himself to be a genuine comedic authority. It's not EASY to present UNease "between the lines", to a crowd of strangers, in a way that appeals to both camps without alienating either side. He maneuvers through this minefield with perfection which makes me love his comedy more than ever. I'll admit I'm a dark humor person but if I weren't, I'd still say Dusty's killing it.
