}}Trae Crowder is an American comedian and co-author of The Liberal Redneck Manifesto: Draggin' Dixie Outta the Dark.[1]

Early life and education

Crowder grew up in rural Celina, Tennessee, near the Tennessee/Kentucky border.[2] He was the first person in his family to graduate from college and earn an MBA. In 2010, he moved to the Knoxville, Tennessee, area with his wife, Katie, and their two young sons.[3]

Political views

In an interview for the MSNBC program The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell in May 2016, Crowder attributed his liberal political views to the "abject poverty" of his family during his childhood in rural middle Tennessee.

Another major influence on his progressive social beliefs, he claimed, was his close relationship with his gay uncle. Crowder explained that he had personally never "been particularly down with Jesus" because of the conservative social views on homosexuality held by most Christian denominations, especially in the area where he was raised.[1]

Career

After business school, Crowder worked for the U.S. Department of Energy for six years.[4]

In 2010, Crowder got his start as a stand up comedian following an open mic night at Side Splitters comedy club in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was after this that he evolved his main character, described as: The Liberal Redneck. His trademark comedic monologues have garnered both controversy and cumulative views now in the millions on YouTube. After his Liberal Redneck videos went viral, he appeared on a number of television and radio shows.

In June 2016, Crowder began a stint as the official "Hillbilly-in-Chief" for the New York Daily News where he posts his politically-oriented videos for the newspaper's YouTube channel.[5]

On November 11, 2016, Crowder was a guest on the HBO series, Real Time with Bill Maher, where he discussed his book and gave his "redneck" take on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, held three days earlier.[6] He appeared on the program again in March 2018.{{Citation needed|date=March 2018}}

On January 1, 2017, Crowder publicly announced through his Twitter account, "My wife's packin our butter tubs for our move to LA. I'll be workin on my @FOXTV sitcom Skeew!"

He is currently on the WellRED Comedy Tour with fellow comedians and writing partners Drew Morgan and Corey Ryan Forrester.
