Get ready to dive headfirst into the brilliantly chaotic mind of comedy powerhouse Urzila Carlson when her brand-new sketch comedy series Urzila which premieres this April, with all episodes available on ABC iview.
Urzila is gleefully outrageous, capturing Carlson’s fearless, no-filter approach to comedy in full flight. Each episode mashes up razor‑sharp stand‑up with cheeky, fast‑firing sketches, many of them plucked straight from the wildly funny stories she riffs on during her live shows.
The whole thing crackles with mischief. It’s a TV series powered by two decades of stand-up comedy chaos: bold, boisterous, and unmistakably Urzila.
Joining her on this energetic ride is her handpicked ensemble of rising comedy talent: Bron Lewis, Carlo Ritchie, Andy Saunders and Anisa Nandaula.
Together, they bring a fresh, contemporary edge to the series, showcasing a dynamic mix of character work, cultural commentary and laugh out loud moments.
Original and unapologetically funny, Urzila is a vibrant new showcase for one of the world’s biggest comedy stars and an exciting spotlight on the next wave of performers already shaking up the comedy scene.
