Donnie Baker, real name Ron Sexton, is a comedy character that is ‘trapped in the eighties’ and ‘will never admit defeat.’ With known 
catchphrases such as ‘I’ll say it right to your face’, ‘I swear to God’ and ‘State Law!’ Sexton plays the perfect archetype of the Kentucky redneck caricature.

After growing attached to a particular character, Sexton decided to take it to the stage and so developed Donnie Baker and the Pork Pistols – a comedy band playing songs like ‘Not my Rubber’ and ‘Okay to Drive’. Finally, in 2015, Sexton took Donnie Baker to YouTube, where his most popular video ‘Missing Boat during Shark Week With Donnie Baker’ has now accrued over three million views.
As an only child, Sexton says that he paid a lot of attention to the imaginary friends he made in his head, which has clearly attributed to the level of details he puts into characters like Baker, making them so popular with an audience. Basing his writing on people that he met at high school, Sexton says that after travelling to perform Donnie Baker, he realised just how universal the character was. ‘Everybody works with, everybody went to school with, or everybody is friends with’ somebody like Donnie, he says. Baker continues to perform with a growing fanbase around the world.
