URZILA CARLSON Aotearoa’s fan-favourite comedian returns to New Zealand in 2026 with even more understated punchlines and her signature deadpan delivery in the brand-new show, Fatty On a Yacht.
Ever felt like you don't belong? Like everyone else got the memo — and you turned up in the wrong outfit, on the wrong day, on the wrong yacht?
Carlson's new show, Fatty On a Yacht, is for anyone who's ever tried to squeeze into a space — physical or social — and thought, "This can't be right”.
It's about not fitting in, standing out, and laughing about it anyway.
Carlson will perform her 'Fatty On a Yacht' tour at Auckland’s Te Paepae Theatre at NZICC on December 5.
