Urzila Carlson announces New Zealand dates for 2024 tour 'Just Jokes'

AUCKLAND, NZ (March 12, 2024) – Aotearoa's favourite South African-New Zealander URZILA CARLSON has today announced the New Zealand leg of her 2024 tour - JUST JOKES.

Urzila’s all-new show will head to eight cities across the country, opening at the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch on November 16, then on to Whangarei, Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, and Wellington, before wrapping up at TSB Theatre in New Plymouth on December 8.

According to Carlson, the show premise is simple.

“Just Jokes is as it says on the label! Just jokes! Come for a show and leave with a sore face from laughing! Switch off and relax”, she said.

My Live Nation members can be among the first to secure tickets during the pre-sale period starting 4pm, Wednesday March 13. Tickets go on sale at 5pm, Thursday March 14.

A deadset fan favourite (quite literally), Urzila is now a three-time winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's People's Choice Award for most tickets sold at the festival. She is also a household name in Australia and New Zealand, not least of all as a regular member of the panel show of Have You Been Paying Attention, Australia, 7Days, and the cult classic Taskmaster NZ.  In 2024, she made her UK TV debut in 2024, appearing on QI with Alan Davies.

An undoubted comedy workhorse, Urzila is currently at the top of her touring game. Urzila has sold out two tours of the United Kingdom and a European tour in the last twelve months. Urzila also managed to squeeze in a season at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal.

And 2024 is already shaping up to be as big, with Urzila set to be heard in feature animation Ozi, lending her voice to the character 'Honkus' in the film alongside a star-studded cast, including Donald Sutherland, Laura Dern, Ru Paul, and Amandla Stenberg, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.

If that dance card isn't full enough, Carlson is now in the 4th season of her chart-topping podcast, 'That's Enough Already!' where she interviews comedians about what annoys them the most about themselves and others. Guests so far include Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican, Julia Morris, Tim Minchin, Russell Howard and many more.

Buy quick and buy early; Urzila Carlson is a guaranteed sell-out!
