In this episode, we sit down with Matt Dameron, a stand-up comedian based in North Carolina whose comedy is deeply rooted in his upbringing right here in Rocky Mount. Matt grew up with a classic rural Southern background—fishing, riding four-wheelers, working land—and that “country life meets small-town reality” perspective has become a defining thread in his stand-up.

Matt began performing comedy about seven years ago and has steadily built his career through relentless touring and repeated gigs. Along the way, he’s found a unique balance: embracing his Southern roots while telling stories on his own terms. His authenticity and sharp observational style have earned him spots sharing the stage with major names like comedian David Lucas.

We talk about Matt’s journey into comedy, the grind of touring, and why his brand of lived-experience, Southern-flavored stand-up resonates with audiences looking for something real, relatable, and unfiltered. Tune in to hear how a Rocky Mount native is carving out space in the national comedy scene—without losing where he came from.
