Urzila Carlson - Just Jokes

Event date: Wednesday, 20 November 2024 | 07:00 PM to 10:00 PM

New Zealand’s favourite South African-New Zealander Urzila Carlson is back!

According to Carlson, the show premise is simple. “Just Jokes is as it says on the label! Just jokes! Come for a show and leave with a sore face from laughing! Switch off and relax,” she said.

A dead-set fan favourite (quite literally), Urzila is now a three-time winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's People's Choice Award for most tickets sold at the festival.

She is also a household name in Australia and New Zealand, not least of all as a regular member of the panel show of Have You Been Paying Attention, Australia, 7Days and the cult classic Taskmaster NZ.

In 2024, she made her UK TV debut, appearing on QI with Alan Davies.

An undoubted comedy workhorse, Urzila is currently at the top of her touring game. Urzila has sold out two tours of the United Kingdom and a European tour in the last 12 months. Urzila also managed to squeeze in a season at the prestigious invitation-only Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal.

And 2024 is already shaping up to be as big, with Urzila set to be heard in feature animation Ozi, lending her voice to the character Honkus in the film alongside a star-studded cast, including Donald Sutherland, Laura Dern, Ru Paul and Amandla Stenberg, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.

If that dance card isn't full enough, Carlson is now in the fourth season of her chart-topping podcast, That's Enough Already!, where she interviews comedians about what annoys them the most about themselves and others.

Guests so far have included Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican, Julia Morris, Tim Minchin, Russell Howard and many more.
