Trae Crowder Says The Liberal Redneck Is Just Him Being Himself 'Times 11'

The climate of our political landscape may seem more unnecessarily divided than a Cici's Pizza pie, but just because you don't agree with certain views doesn't mean you can't find them funny.

Comedian Trae Crowder who's also known by his YouTube moniker as "The Liberal Redneck," says he performs in front of crowds that usually contain a handful of conservatives.

"They do typically come because their liberal wife or sometimes husband drag them to the show, but there are conservatives at our shows," Crowder says. "Generally, their take on it is, 'I don't agree with what y'all said but y'all were funny, though.' That's typically how it goes."

Crowder's act is rooted in the idea of smashing misconceptions by being a walking one himself. The Tennessee native speaks with a thick, proud Southern accent and wears flannel shirts and jeans in his shows, but the ideas that fall out of his mouth whether he's onstage doing stand-up in a live show like the one he's doing on Saturday, Oct. 5, at The Majestic or recording a video as The Liberal Redneck are unapologetically liberal.
