Dusty Slay
Comedian Dusty Slay brings his “The Night Shift Tour” to the Gallo Center. “Long hair, tobacco, oversized glasses and a trucker hat, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking,” the center’s website says.
