ABOUT URZILA CARLSON ‘JUST NO’:
We live in trying times where we are acutely aware of each other's opinions and shortcomings, making us the most frustrated population in the history of humankind. If you've ever queued up and someone blatantly cuts in front of you, past generations may have let that slide, but us, NO - JUST NO! Are you taking over at a community picnic and thinking everyone will let it slide? NO - JUST NO!
In Just No, Urzila has discovered our frustrations are what brings us together - not sport, not love, not peace - but people who do us wrong or get on our tits. Even Urzila’s chart-topping premiere podcast That’s Enough Already! sees her discussing everything that frustrates them, and after three seasons, Urzila is yet to find one that she disagrees with!

“Carlson is a gifted and accomplished comedian - an absolute must-see.” - Appetite for the Arts
“Belly laughs and guffaws aplenty.” ★★★★★ - The Music
ABOUT NAZEEM HUSSAIN ‘TOTALLY NORMAL’:
Ever wondered what Nazeem Hussain does during a two year break? Me neither, and I'm him. Nonetheless, Nazeem's back and is as 'Totally Normal' as ever.
Whether you've laughed at him on TV, followed him on TikTok, or perhaps tailed him in real life (creepy, but he appreciates the commitment), now's your chance to strap in for a full dose of Nazeem, live and up-close.
Nazeem Hussain has fast become one of the biggest stars of Australian comedy and a much-loved television and radio personality, with almost 1.5 million followers on social media.
His NETFLIX special Nazeem Hussain: Public Frenemy, filmed in Montreal at the Just For Laughs Festival, was released in 2019, streaming globally in 180 countries, introducing Nazeem to a legion of new fans and garnered widespread critical acclaim. He followed it up in 2022 with Hussain in the Membrane on YouTube, with several routines from the special racking up millions of views.

"And just when you think you have him pegged, he sneaks up on you again, showing society's conventional wisdom to be little more than prejudice, yet somehow picking out something side-splittingly funny therein.” – The Times (UK)
"Hussain is a wonderful comedic artist who blends observation with comedy that crafts an intelligent and hilarious show.” – Edinburgh Festivals Magazine (UK)
