The 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) may feel far-off, but for those aching to get ahead and book a side-splitter of a gig, Australia's favourite New Zealand comic, Urzila Carlson, has just announced a brand new national tour for next year titled Just Jokes.
Opening at the Odeon Theatre in Hobart, the inimitable Carlson will make her way to Melbourne's Town Hall for a full run at MICF, kicking off on March 27.
The three-time winner of the MICF People's Choice Award, Carlson is a household name in Australia and a regular panellist on Network Ten's Have You Been Paying Attention? She has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox Australia along with Julia Morris and Nazeem Hussain.
Her chart-topping podcast, That's Enough Already!, has seen her interview the crème de la crème of the comedy circuit, including Sarah Millican, Tim Michin, Russell Howard and Jimmy Carr.
When asked what to expect from the upcoming tour, the comedian said: "Just Jokes is as it says on the label! Just jokes! Come for a show and leave with a sore face from laughing!"
You can catch Urzila Carlson's Just Jokes from Wednesday, March 27 to Sunday, April 21, at the Melbourne Town Hall. To buy tickets, visit the MICF website here.
