Melbourne International Comedy Festival comedian Q&A: Carla Wills, Sass Attack

Settle in for a dry, dark and sassy night out with two funny gals, where nothing is off limits, says comedian Carla Wills.

Carla Wills Melbourne Comedy Festival 2019.

What can people expect from your show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival?

Very dry, dark humour from two very dry, dark and funny women.

Definitely don’t expect rainbows and butterflies — our show is relatable and down to earth.

BRITISH AND IRISH COMEDIANS TO SEE THIS YEAR

If you’re new to MICF, tell us about you.

This is my first MICF after doing the last few fringes in Adelaide.

I recently moved to Melbourne after taking part in the Raw National Finals two years ago and have really made the Melbourne comedy scene my community.

Who should see your show, and why?

Our show is the perfect girls’ night out (or boys’ night out) — it like having a glass of wine with your friend (and then finishing the bottle).

What’s your No.1 tip for people coming to see a show at the comedy festival?

Read reviews and check out smaller shows — if you do your research you can find so many amazing comics with shows under $30.

Which other comedians/shows are you keen to see at this year’s festival, and why?

Jonathan Schuster, Anne Edmonds, Sonia Di Iorio & Pat McCaffrie.

What do you love about Melbourne?

Melbourne is my home — I moved here two years ago.

It has such a thriving comedy scene, you can see comedy pretty much every night.
