Their stand-up
Trae Crowder worked for the U.S. Department of Energy for six years after business school before turning to comedy; in 2016 he began touring with his writing partners Drew Morgan and Corey Ryan Forrester as the WellRED Comedy Tour, whose first leg sold out and added nights.
His stand-up special Trash Daddy came out on 13 March 2025.
Trae Crowder got his start in his mid-twenties at an open mic at the Side Splitters comedy club in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he performed for three and a half years before creating his Liberal Redneck monologues, which passed 17 million views on YouTube by August 2020.
