No regrets | Urzila Carlson | TEDxAuckland
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Urzila talks about her life and how she came to be a comedian and her philosophy on giving things ago and having no regrets.

Natural, cheeky and straight-up South African-born, New Zealand-based, Urzila Carlson, took to the stage for the first time in 2008, and has since racked up an impressive array of awards for her stand-up comedy.
Some of the awards she holds to her name include Best Female Comedian at the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 NZ Comedy Guild Awards, as well as the coveted TV3 People’s Choice Award at the 2013 New Zealand International Comedy Festival.
She has also had 4 sold-out solo seasons (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, and was invited to Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2013 where she had a hugely successful sell-out season and appeared on the televised Oxfam Comedy Gala and Comedy Up Late.
Urzila is one of New Zealand’s funniest comedians, male or female, and is a true star on the rise.

I was in the front row that day, was one of the best talks!!!
Not what I thought it would be, but better! Do I regret the 10 mins I spent watching this? No, I do not!
Joyous woman. This talk wasn't nearly long enough.
I only discovered Urzila in the last couple of months. She's an amazing lady who's observational comedy is brilliant. I hope she comes to Ireland soon!
She puts a very funny spin on things profound. Love it.
OMG I love this woman. What a terrific speech.
Love this, it's extremely true. I think most people let nerves get in the way of there dreams, but they are only setting themselves up for a lifetime of regret.

Aaron Lewis don’t know why this made me sad, maybe cause it’s so true😞
I adore this, and I'm kinda feeling the pressure of changing the direction of my life. I stumbled upon this video looking at comedians late at night. It's what I needed to hear right at the right moment. Much respect Urzila!!

Why can’t ted talks be more like her’s - practical, to the point and on the lighter side.

Urzila, you are truly inspiring! And incredibly funny 😂
Just so you know Urzila (I'm sure you'll be checking up on the comments at some stage ;) ), you're a great storyteller, with a great sense of humour to back it up, & we in NZ adore you & are thankful to have you as a part of this country. I know being a public figure you're always going to get haters, but you obviously have the right attitude to deal with it & I have all the admiration in the world for the way you go about life, never taking yourself too seriously. In all honesty, I wish I could be more like that myself. I think anyone who is shaped by fears & anxieties does.
This lady is awesome!!! Do yourself a favor and spend 6 minutes learning and laughing!
Reminds me of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes. Love this talk!
Killin it!
Well done.. Great watch 😍
I loved it, brilliant!
Inspiring!!
we love you Urzila! then...now...brunette....blonde....dozen matta. You're hilarious! And truthful! & WE LOVE YOU!
Taking a leaf out of your book lol... so glad you came to NZ
Excellent talk! 😁💚☮
She has a great attitude she's funny smart and I think she's got way more charisma than most lol
Just when you think you couldn’t love Urzila any more than you already do, you come across this, and yep you CAN love her more it turns out!
Love this

How can you not regret? I have no idea what I want to do with my life and there's so many options, each day is another day without pursuing anything great, and each day is another regret! I doubt she's ever done anything that she regrets because she's legit not regretted anything

no, you need to wake up. its a fact that south africa has a high crime rate. but reported on newspapers everyday? that is so untrue. whatever your source is, clearly its aim is to portray South Africa as a dysfunctional country.

How is she in any way offensive? .... this is a ted talk ... she was sharing her life experiences and what she has learned .... she done it in a sincere and humorous manner .... authentic to her person .... she wasn’t doing a comedy act ... if you are offended thats on you ... YOU being offended does not make something offensive ....
