Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Urzila - Season One

Urzila Carlson's live shows are remarkable. Speaking of, she is touring mid this year, until late August.

So what happens when she mixes her comedy, with sketches, for a show simply titled Urzila?

Over six episodes, now streaming on ABC or ABC iView, we see Carlson tackle a range of issues. Some of the sketches do really well and are laugh out loud funny, some are a little lame.

She also has a full blown sitcom in the works (also at the ABC) with Nazeem Hussain.

Urzila Carlson is of course, a South African-born ,New Zealand comedian and actress, known for her jokes around being a lesbian and being a little larger. Prior to this ABC series, Carlson is a regular panellist on 7 Days & both the Australian and New Zealand version of Have You Been Paying Attention?

She was also a panellist on The Masked Singer Australia for the show's second and third seasons, until it got the axe in Australia. Man channel 10 are broke AF. They just scrapped I'm a Celebrity too! There biggest hit, next to Masterchef.

She was a contestant on the second season of Taskmaster NZ.

So Urzila is well known on our TV screens. A classic sketch show is something they don't make like they used to.

I'm not sure the ABC will invest in a sound round of Hire a Lez, but I sure am excited for a scripted comedy from her and Nazeem Hussain. Next up from the ABC a review of Bad Company, up soon!
