Stand-Up, Raleigh! Oak City Comedy Festival Takes the Stage

 In this episode of Oak City Move, I sit down with Shari Díaz and Matt White, the co-producers of the Oak City Comedy Festival, North Carolina’s only multi-day stand-up festival. We dive into the behind-the-scenes challenges of creating and sustaining a comedy festival, from booking talent to building community. Shari and Matt share stories about the growing bonds between acts over the years, and how curating a diverse lineup has become the heart of the festival’s mission. Tune in for a look at how comedy, resilience, and representation come together on the Oak City stage.
