Alan Davies — Think Ahead Tour
8 August 2026Michael Fowler Centre
She’s known for her deadpan delivery and understated punchlines. Fan-favourite comedian Urzila Carlson is back in time for Christmas with a 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? According to Urzila, 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”.
The multi-award-winning South African-New Zealander is one of Australasia’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. In 2019, she was presented with the Rielly Comedy Award from the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand for her contribution to New Zealand entertainment.
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.
