Drew Plant

Drew Plant is an Atlanta-based stand-up comic known for experiential comedy about Southern-ness, sobriety and being a “gray gay” in the midst of a midlife crisis in overtime. He finds humor in his bad decisions, not learning lessons quickly and insults most people wouldn’t repeat. On his way to the comedy stage, Drew’s day-job as a writer took him to nuclear power plants, public health departments (no free swag, sorry) and an impromptu FBI interview. He has Real Housewives taglines about it all. Drew came out early, escaping East Tennessee and bringing tales of his Appalachian granny with him. Along the way he accidentally dated a priest, didn’t say “no” enough and married twice. He says Tauruses make the best husbands; especially if they're yours. The former orthopedic device model eventually dried out, lost weight, had some plastic surgery and flirted with Buddhism. Upon hearing from a club manager that an audience member said he sounded like Gay Cornbread, Drew adopted the persona, building a one-night-only show around it. His early – three years in – comedy career includes performing at a venue at which the air conditioning had gone out. Another with no heat. One where the sound system failed. Drew says he’s living through deleted scenes from reality and the consequences of his own decisions and is happy to share them all with you in his wry, plainspoken and self-effacing way. When not on the mic, Drew is writing a farcical murder mystery novel. About his neighbors.
