The much-loved comedian will take to the stage at Ararat Town Hall for one night only on August 4. Tickets on sale now!

Carlson, who is a regualar panellist on Network Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention?, wrestles with the phrase “studies have shown” in this brand new show. Every time you hear it you know you’re about to learn something ridiculous!

Studies have shown your dog is happier than your cat! Who cares! How about they give funding to scientists to come up with a way to eradicate the unibrow, or those weird thin white hairs you occasionally find attached to your face!

Let’s get some research done on what happens to your blood pressure when your kid keeps getting out of bed - when you’ve tucked them in 20 times already!

South African-born, and household name in New Zealand as a cast member of TV3’s hit comedy panel show 7Days, Carlson took to the stage for the first time in 2008.

Since then she’s racked up an impressive array of awards including Best Female Comedian at the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 NZ Comedy Guild Awards, as well as the coveted TV3 People’s Choice Award two years in a row at the NZ International Comedy Festival.

Carlson regularly sells out her live shows in Australia and NZ. As well as her regular seat on Have You Been Paying Attention?, Carlson is regularly seen on Network Ten’s annual Melbourne International Comedy Festival Oxfam Gala and The Great Debate.

She released her first book, a memoir entitled Rolling with the Punchlines, in 2017 through Allen & Unwin.
