“’Loser’ is almost always negative. I’ve lost my keys, a relative, my mind, money, dignity… it’s only positive when you lose some weight.”

Multi award-winning South African-Newlander, Urzila Carlson, has become
a household name in Australia in the past year and she returns from across the ditch in 2019 with a national stand up tour!

Carlson will take her brand-new comedy show, Loser, to ten cities and regional centres around the country from March to June next year.

Taking off at the 2019 Melbourne International Comedy Festival on March 28, the MICF season of Loser will see Urzila become the first female comedian to perform a full run at Melbourne Town Hall’s Main Hall—talk about girl power!

Following Melbourne, Loser will head to Brisbane, Townsville, Canberra, Launceston, Hobart, Perth, Newcastle, Sydney, aaaaaaaand the best place on earth—you guessed it—Adelaide.

Tickets go on sale 9am on Friday, November 16 (that’s tomorrow!).

“Loser is almost always negative,” Urzila says. “I’ve lost my keys, a relative, my mind, money, dignity… it’s only positive when you lose some weight. Why? If you meet someone awesome would you not want there to be more of them? Why can your friends not see your fatness but your family and doctor can see nothing but your fatness? Why is losing so hard? The truth is, we’re all losers in some form and at some point, we’ll hit our rock bottom. Are you prepared? Get ready losers, let’s tackle our
failures. What’s the worst that can happen?”

Uh… we have to face all of our crippling insecurities? But if anyone can have us laughing at our own ridiculousness by the end of a show, it’s Carlson.

She’s racked up an impressive array of awards including Best Female Comedian at the New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards no less than six times, as well as NZ’s coveted People’s Choice Award two years in a row
at the NZ International Comedy Festival. And we can’t wait to see what she brings to Adelaide!
