Multi-award-winning, comedy powerhouse Urzila Carlson is hitting the road again with brand new show, Just No!.

We live in trying times where we're 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 discovers our frustrations are what bring us together – not sport, not love, not peace – but people who do us wrong, or get on our tits!

A deadset fan favourite each year – quite literally as the two-time winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's People's Choice Award in 2019 and 2022 – Urzila Carlson has become one of the bigest names in comedy in Australia and New Zealand. Just No! arrives hot on the heels of her last tour It's Personal.

She's garnered a legion of fans worldwide in recent years, not least thanks to her hit Netflix hour-long comedy special Overqualified Loser, which was released in 190 countries, and its stable partner, Comedians of the World. Urzila is a much-loved staple on Network Ten's smash-hit panel show, Have You Been Paying Attention? both here and in New Zealand.

Don't miss the powerhouse that is Urzila Carlson in 2023!
