Urzila's down-to-earth comedy translates well to Australian humour, so much so that you may just forget that she is not a local.

You will no doubt get caught up in Urzila's infectiously fun humour and wonder if we can ask the PM for honorary citizenship. But as Urzila warns, "Don't go falling in love, now eh?" View videos of Urzila's stand-up on her website www.urzilacarlson.com to see what is in store in June. Ticket prices start at $71.20.
