South African-New Zealand comedian Urzila Carlson is embarking on her biggest tour yet when she hits Australia next year.
The multi-award winner is bringing her new show You Don’t Say to Australian stages throughout 2025, including performances as part of next year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Discussing her upcoming tour dates, Urzila says: “You Don't Say is a show born out of sarcasm and storytelling from the mind of a woman who might be slightly out of her mind! I cannot wait to tour this show and bring it to your ears!”
Carlson’s first stand-up show takes place at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Tuesday, April 1 and is followed by performances at Bunjil Palace in Narre Warren on Wednesday, April 2 and Frankston Arts Centre in Frankston on Thursday, April 3. Carlson then returns to Melbourne’s Palais Theatre for two shows on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 before hitting Adelaide’s AEC Theatre on Saturday, July 26, Brisbane’s Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday, August 2, Toowoomba’s Empire Theatre on Friday, August 8 and Newcastle’s Entertainment Centre on Friday, August 15. The final three dates of the tour take place at Sydney’s ICC Theatre on Saturday, August 16, Canberra’s Llewellyn Hall on Saturday, August 23 and Perth’s HBF Stadium on Saturday, August 30.
