URZILA CARLSON Aotearoa’s fan-favourite comedian returns to New Zealand in 2027 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 20 February 2027.
Multi-award-winning South African-New Zealander Urzila Carlson is one of Australia and New Zealand's biggest comedy stars.
In 2025, she won the prestigious People’s Choice Award for most tickets sold at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for an incredible fourth time, after wins in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
Also last year, Carlson was cast in Netflix and Happy Madison's rom-com Kinda Pregnant, which was viewed 25.1 million times in its first week, making it the most-watched title on Netflix from February 3 to February 10 and the number one movie globally. In Netflix's recently released 'What We Watched' report for January to June 2025 Kinda Pregnant ranked at number 12 with an incredible 58.9 million views.
Effortlessly likeable… stream of belly-laughs. – The Age, Melbourne
Carlson's a master of the form. Audiences across New Zealand have known it for years and turned out in droves in recognition of that. Now, it's the world's turn. – The Spinoff NZ
