One of the UK’s finest comedians (as seen on The Gala) returns to Brisbane with a brutally funny dive into a year like no other.

From his hospitalisation during last year’s festival to the harrowing experience of his young daughter’s hospital stay battling a serious illness later in the year, Carl’s life has been anything but ordinary. Throw in some curated morning drinking and in his uniquely effortless style, you’ve got an unmissable hour of stand-up.

With his signature blend of honesty and wit, Carl turns life’s darkest moments into comedy gold. Raise a glass and join him for laughs, resilience, and hard-earned perspective.

“Most charming raconteur to be found at the festival” David Astle, ABC Melbourne
