Hi all, just a nobody from the UK here - I've recently found out that my employer is sending me to Waynesville (I think that's what it's called!) for a few months this summer and I was wondering what there is to do there while I'm not slaving away...
I'm in to running so are there running tracks or trails? Also I'm a big fan of stand-up comedy, are there any stand-up clubs in the area?

Are you looking for things to do across the state or Waynesville area?
Waynesville is located near Asheville in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina.
Since it is in Mountains there is plenty of trails, waterfalls, white water rafting.
As a mod of the forum, if your inquiring about that area would you like me to redirect the thread there?
Anything you do will be a decent drive, but IMO very worth it. Hope you have plans to get a car. A 4 hour drive will get you to Raleigh, our capitol city. we have some great restaurants, bars, clubs, lakes, trails, shows, concerts, and shoppingRaleigh NC Official Tourism Site | Hotels, Restaurants & Events
If you want to visit an old city with lovely southern charm and architecture, then see Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston, SC | Official Site for Charleston Vacations & Charleston Tourism | Charleston Area CVB It's a great place for a 2 day visit. On the way back you could detour to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for lovely sandy beaches. It has many lovely golf courses if that's your thing. While there, check out Murrells Inlet for on the river dining, and charm. Myrtle is a little like Blackpool in some areas and more upscale in other areas. either way, the beach is very nice.

You could also visit Wilmington, NC, 1 hour or so north of Myrtle Beach. they have a WWII warship you could tour if that's of interest.
Then there is Charlotte, NC. I can't tell you much about it but you could web research.
DC is 7 hours if you have a long weekend to go there. And Atlanta is 2 hours, it's a fun place to visit. And Nashville is 4 hours. You have many options for one-day trips. It all depends on what you want to see and how you feel about driving. The biggie for you will be getting used to the humidity here...get ready!!
Good luck with your trip here, I think you enjoy the experience!
There are a couple of comedy clubs in Asheville which is 30 miles away: Disclaimer Stand-up Lounge and Slice of Life Comedy. Here is a blog you may like: Stand-up Asheville
You'll be near Asheville, which can certainly keep you busy for a summer, and in the other direction, the college town of Cullowhee and nearby Sylva are charming little towns that are gorgeous to visit.
I agree that the Mountains forum would be more appropriate is you're just looking for Waynesville.
North Carolina is divided into three main regions — the mountains, where Waynesville is, the piedmont where most growth and industry and tech is, and the coastal plain. There are lots and lots of things to do in the mountain region. You might like to explore Our State magazine to get a feel for the whole state.
