Urzila Carlson's Fatty On A Yacht UK Tour is Coming to York

Get ready for a proper night of laughter, because Urzila Carlson is returning to the UK in 2026 — and Yorkshire is firmly on the map. Her brand-new tour, brilliantly titled ‘Fatty on a Yacht’, will bring the multi-award-winning comedian to venues across the country next September, including a much-anticipated stop at York Barbican. After her last UK run sold out completely, Yorkshire fans now have the perfect chance to see her live without travelling far.

Who is Urzila Carlson, and why is everyone talking about her?

If you haven’t encountered her before, Urzila Carlson is one of the biggest names in international comedy. Originally from South Africa and now based in New Zealand, she has built a huge UK following thanks to her unmistakable deadpan delivery and hilarious storytelling.

Her ability to turn everyday chaos — awkward conversations, supermarket oddities, the quirks of modern life — into pure comedy gold has earned her rave reviews. One critic from The Age summed her up perfectly: “Effortlessly likeable… stream of belly-laughs.”

She connects with audiences instantly, and it’s exactly that warmth, wit, and sharp timing that has made her sold-out UK tours the norm.

What to expect from ‘Fatty on a Yacht’

The title alone tells you Urzila is in mischievous form. Fatty on a Yacht promises more of her trademark understated punchlines, clever observations, and stories that become funnier the longer you think about them.

Following the runaway success of her last tour — including a sold-out night at the London Palladium — anticipation for this new show has been huge. Now she’s back for another full national run, bringing brand-new material to audiences across the UK.

Yorkshire’s big night: York Barbican

For Yorkshire comedy fans, the key date is:

Sunday 13 September 2026 – York Barbican, York

It’s the sole Yorkshire stop on the tour, making it the prime chance for local audiences to catch Urzila live. York Barbican has a long history of hosting major comedy names, and Urzila’s return is set to be one of the highlights of the 2026 comedy calendar in the region.
