PHILADELPHIA, PA — The award-winning Live With Carisha is officially entering a new era.
Founder and curator Carisha The Diva has announced ACT 3: INFLUENCE, the latest installment of the rapidly growing live talk show experience, taking place Thursday, July 30 at The Velvet Whip, located at 319 N. 11th Street, Philadelphia, PA.
This isn’t just another interview show—it’s a cultural experience.
As Live With Carisha continues its nationwide expansion beyond its home base of Atlanta, ACT 3 represents a pivotal chapter in a larger creative vision. The production has been strategically divided into a series of acts leading to its highly anticipated final installment in 2027, with each act exploring a different theme while elevating the show’s storytelling, production quality, and audience experience.
Headlining ACT 3: INFLUENCE are two respected voices in hip-hop culture—Lee Mazin and Oschino Vasquez—who will join Carisha The Diva for authentic, unfiltered conversations centered around influence, legacy, entrepreneurship, music, and culture.
The evening will be hosted by WPSG-TV correspondent Wilde Tuna, while DJ Hefner provides the soundtrack for the night, creating an atmosphere that blends entertainment, networking, and meaningful conversation.
More Than a Talk Show
From the moment guests arrive, they’ll be immersed in a pop-culture and fashion-forward experience. Attendees are encouraged to dress to impress as they walk the red carpet before entering an evening designed to feel like a television production mixed with an exclusive cultural event.
