ABOUT

Multi-award-winning South African-New Zealander Urzila Carlson is one of Australia and New Zealand’s the biggest comedy stars. A touring powerhouse, she’s taken her trademark deadpan delivery and cheeky wit across the globe between the high-profile television appearances that have helped cement her enormous fanbase.

In 2019, Urzila became the highest-selling comedian in the 33-year history of The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, one of the three largest comedy festivals in the world and made her Netflix debut as part of the streaming service’s unprecedented world-wide comedy series, Comedians Around the World. Urzila was among just 47 comics handpicked to performa half-hour special filmed at Just For Laughs in Montreal for the series.

In 2024, Urzila made her mark in the realm of feature animation by lending her voice to the character Honkus in the animated film Ozi, which will be released in Australia at the end of 2024. This exciting project boasts a star-studded cast, including Donald Sutherland, Laura Dern, Ru Paul, and Amandla Stenberg.  

Earlier this year, Urzila was cast in the Netflix and Happy Madison's rom-com Kinda Pregnant, in an ensemble cast alongside Amy Schumer, Alex Moffat, Damon Wayans Junior and Will Forte scheduled for release in 2025. After filming the movie in New York, Urzila travelled to Los Angeles to perform her first-ever show in the USA at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival, selling out the iconic Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. 

An undeniable tour de force of the comedy world, Urzila hasn't stopped since first taking to the comedy stage in 2008. In 2025, Urzila will be doing her first national tour of the USA and her biggest tour of the United Kingdom.
