From South Africa to Global Comedy Superstar
Although many South Africans proudly claim Urzila Carlson as one of their own, her career has exploded internationally over the past decade.
Today she is regarded as one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s most successful comedians, consistently selling out theatres across multiple continents while becoming a familiar face on television and streaming platforms.
Some of her biggest career milestones include:
- Highest-selling comedian in Melbourne International Comedy Festival history (2019)
- Four Melbourne International Comedy Festival People’s Choice Awards
- Six New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards
- Sydney Comedy Festival Director’s Choice Award
- Netflix global stand-up specials
- Best-selling author
- International touring comedian
Her unique storytelling style combines relatable family life, cultural observations and unapologetic honesty that resonates with audiences around the world.
Netflix Success Continues
Millions of viewers worldwide have discovered Urzila Carlson through Netflix.
Her stand-up special:
Overqualified Loser
introduced global audiences to her hilarious storytelling style.
She later starred alongside Amy Schumer and Will Forte in the Netflix comedy film:
Kinda Pregnant
which became one of Netflix’s biggest worldwide releases during 2025, further cementing her international popularity.
New Television Series in 2026
The momentum continues.
Carlson is also fronting her brand-new television comedy series:
URZILA
Produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia and ABC, the show combines stand-up comedy with scripted sketches featuring some of Australia’s biggest comedy talent.
