SHARK PARTY MEDIA

NEW YORK, NY - April 30, 2024 - Blonde Medicine is excited to announce the upcoming debut comedy album from Ali Clayton, Country Queer, due out May 31, available digitally everywhere comedy is streamed or downloaded, and on vinyl on Blonde Medicine and Bandcamp.

 

After working in comedy for 15 years, Ali put together a set that tells her story as a member of a very Southern family from rural North Carolina, a special ed kid, a lesbian, an alcoholic, and a white girl who started her comedy career in the South Side of Chicago. 

 

“Country Queer is a love letter to little Ali about embracing and loving your authentic self and never forgetting where you come from.” Says Ali Clayton. “I’m country and I’m queer and I’m proud to be both.” Her comedy aims to help humanize and connect Southerners and queer folks everywhere.

 

Pre-order for Country Queer is live. The album will be available in full everywhere comedy is streamed or sold on Friday, May 31st. That same evening there will be an Album Release Show at Union Hall with Ali Clayton, Ely Kreimdahl (Shame Spiral Podcast) and Kenice Mobley (The Tonight Show).
