Jesse Mcray

Southern, blue-collar storytelling with a slightly unhinged, self-deprecating edge—like a front-porch storyteller wandered into a comedy club after 40 years in public safety and decided nothing in his life was too sacred to make funny. You turn growing up in rural Tennessee, crazy family, first responders, hazmat work, small-town politics, getting older, Parkinson’s, PTSD, and everyday Southern stupidity into stories that feel real because they come from lived experience. The humor ranges from PG-13 to R-rated, with misdirection, hard punchlines, crowd work, and the attitude of a man who has survived enough that embarrassment is no longer a concern. Jesse McRay doesn’t tell sophisticated people what the South is like—he tells Southern people what they already know is true, then says the part everybody else was afraid to say out loud.
