William Lee Martin Launches Red Dirt Comedy — A New Entertainment Brand Rooted in Grit, Heart, and Hilarious Truth

FORT WORTH, TX — August 6, 2025 — A bold new voice in entertainment has arrived. Red Dirt Comedy, created by Texas-born comedian, songwriter, and producer William Lee Martin, officially launches as a multi-platform brand blending the grit of red dirt culture with the humor of real‑life storytelling.

Rooted in the spirit of independent, hard‑working, and fun‑loving people, Red Dirt Comedy offers a fresh take on stand‑up — where authentic voices, heartfelt stories, and clever wit come together to reflect everyday life. It’s not just about laughs; it’s about truth told funny.

“Red Dirt Comedy isn’t just a show or a style — it’s a state of mind,” says Martin.“It’s about embracing life’s chaos, owning your story, and finding the humor in it all.”

Reflecting the ethos of the Red Dirt music movement, known for its raw storytelling and outlaw spirit, Red Dirt Comedy highlights voices rooted in experience and human connection.

The brand launches with a flagship podcast featuring interviews with comedians, singer‑songwriters, and everyday legends, and will expand into:

• Red Dirt Comedy Radio — a nationally syndicated weekend show

• A touring showcase of comedians and musicians

• Original merchandise lines

• A digital hub

• Red Dirt Comedy TV — a variety-style series registered with the U.S. Copyright Office

  
  

Martin adds three decades of performance and creative experience, with four stand‑up specials (including two on Amazon Prime) and appearances alongside legends like George Strait, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, and the late, George Jones, all helping shape a loyal fan base.

“We’re creating a home for fans who want something real,” Martin says.“Red Dirt Comedy is built on authenticity, heart, and humor that doesn’t need permission. We’re not chasing trends — we’re planting roots.”

Plans are underway to launch the Red Dirt Comedy Hall of Fame, support emerging talent through the official site, and create a flagship Red Dirt Comedy Festival in the near future.

From short‑form podcasts to live shows and broadcast airwaves, Red Dirt Comedy is poised to become a genre‑defining force across entertainment.
