Urzila
10.0

Urzila is gleefully outrageous, capturing Carlson’s fearless, no-filter approach to comedy in full flight. Each episode mashes up razor‑sharp stand-up with cheeky, fast‑firing sketches, many of them plucked straight from the wildly funny stories she riffs on during her live shows. The whole thing crackles with mischief. It’s a TV series powered by two decades of stand-up comedy chaos: bold, boisterous, and unmistakably Urzila.
