Drop straight into comedic chaos as stand-up funny woman Urzila Carlson ricochets between live stand-up and bombastic sketches in her first stand-up comedy sketch show.

Anchored by Urzila’s blistering point of view and featuring Sam Pang as a guest star, the episode sets the tone for a series that’s unapologetically loud, stacked with mayhem, and most importantly funny
