A stalwart in the comedy scene, Urzila Carlson has garnered immense popularity, earning her the title of Australia’s favourite. With three Melbourne International Comedy Festival People’s Choice Awards under her belt for most tickets sold at the Festival, Urzila’s comedic prowess is undisputed. She’s a regular fixture on Network Ten’s “Have You Been Paying Attention?” and has even graced UK television screens with appearances on “QI” and “Celebrity Gogglebox Australia.”
Urzila’s touring game is at its peak, having sold out two UK tours and a European jaunt in the past year alone. Not to mention her coveted spot at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal and her upcoming hosting gig at The Just For Laughs All-Star Gala at the Sydney Opera House alongside comedy heavyweights like Dara O Briain and Russell Kane.
But Urzila isn’t just conquering the stage; she’s lending her voice to the character ‘Honkus’ in the feature animation “Ozi,” alongside a star-studded cast including Donald Sutherland and Laura Dern. And if that’s not enough, she’s currently in the midst of the fourth season of her chart-topping podcast, “That’s Enough Already!” where she grills fellow comedians about their pet peeves.
With such a packed schedule and a legion of fans eagerly awaiting her next punchline, it’s no wonder tickets to Urzila Carlson’s shows fly off the shelves faster than you can say “knock-knock joke.”
