He is rapidly gaining a name for himself on comedy stages all over the country and is definitely a comic to watch!!
Julio Diaz is a Dominican-American stand-up comic born and raised in BROOKLYN, New York. His style of comedy is raw, witty, and deadass - all the while filled with a big dose of charisma. Beginning his career gracing East Coast stages, he’s risen to even greater heights on the NYC comedy scene where he is constantly booked and busy. Julio made his international comedy debut at the 2022 Netflix Is A Joke Comedy Festival in Los Angeles where he was 1 of 8 comedians selected for Introducing…Netflix’ platform to highlight the future stars of stand-up comedy! When he’s not on stage, he’s writing & producing hilarious sketches, and has a growing podcast audience (TJSquared). Julio is definitely leveling up the comedy scene!
