Hayley Sproull

Biography

A writer, actor and comedian she is a triple threat on stage and screen. A graduate of the prestigious Toi Whakaari drama school, Hayley’s passion for performance has wowed audiences with comedy shows like Miss Fetcher Sings the Blues, Vanilla Miraka, Outsiders’ Guide and Just a Phase earning her an array of praise and accolades - including Best Newcomer at the NZ International Comedy Festival in 2012, the Chapman Tripp Theatre award for most promising female newcomer in 2013 and The People’s Choice award at the NZ Fringe 2014. She was nominated for an NZ Film Award in 2014 for her role in the short film School Night.

Urzila

Urzila

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.
