South African-New Zealander URZILA CARLSON is hitting the
road again in 2021 with her brand new show Token African.
Carlson is a multi award-winning comedian, the 2019
Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s highest ticket-seller, and a
household name across two continents. And she’s not finished yet.
Africans have become the new must have accessory. Okay, not really, but everyone knows one, works with one or has a sister that’s dating one of us. What makes you African? Is it enough that you’re born there? Do you need to be able to dance? Why does being South African not register as African in most places? You’re thinking about it right now aren’t you? Questioning it. Africa changes people. People who visit to game reserves wear ranger outfits... why is that? We don't wear scrubs when going to the doctor... Africa puts things in perspective, this show will help you find that focus, delivered to you by a Token African.
Urzilas comedic talent is undeniable: In 2019 Urzila saw her
netflix debut as part of the streaming service’s unprecedented stand-up comedy
event series. Urzila was one of 47 comedians handpicked from around the world.
Urzila also cleaned up the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2019,
taking out the MICF People’s Choice Award for most tickets sold across the
festival. Carlson is a much-loved series regular on Network Ten’s smash-hit
panel show, Have You Been Paying Attention?! in Australia, as well as NZ’s new
edition of the show.
Urzila continues to sell out her seasons in Australia and
NZ, and the awards stack up year after year. She has won the Rielly Comedy,
Australia’s Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer, and she took out the 2017
Sydney Comedy Festival’s Director’s Choice Award. In NZ, Urzila has won the NZ
Comedy Guild’s Best Female Comedian award six times, as well as the coveted
People’s Choice Award at the NZ International Comedy Festival two years in a
row.
Buy soon, buy quick. Carlson is a guaranteed sell-out.
