Carla Collins
Named “Comedian of the Year” by the Southern California Motion Picture Council, Carla Collins is an award-winning comedian, actress, television and radio host. Earlier this year, she won an LA Film Award for Best Supporting Actress and has appeared in numerous movies and television shows in both the US and Canada. She performs stand-up comedy in clubs, theaters and festivals all over North America.
Carla is also a highly sought-after comedian, emcee and auctioneer in the corporate world having performed for numerous notable international companies and organizations including Microsoft, Staples, Labatts, TBWAChiatDay, YPO (Young Presidents Organization), and The Rotary Club to name a few.
You may have streamed Carla’s reality show, Carlawood, on Amazon Prime, and she will be filming her first US comedy special in 2024. Carla also stars in the new comedy, Murder, Anyone?, a darling of the film festival circuit directed by James Cullen Bressack. It is “one of the most streamed movies of 2023 on VOD” (Rotten Tomatoes) and can currently be seen on TUBI.
Carla is the creator of Chuckle and Chill: Comedic Meditation, a revolutionary new concept where after delivering thirty minutes of her stand-up comedy, Collins leads the audience through an authentic, original, relaxing guided meditation. An instant hit, her Laugh of Attraction brand has already been featured on NBC’s California Live, CP24 News, SiriusXM Radio, CBC’s Metro Morning, in The Eden Magazine and LA’s Splash Magazine. Look for her comedy tarot card deck Tarot Grigio in 2024 as she continues to combine her two passions: comedy and spirituality.
Carla is the bestselling author of Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags, a comedic motivational tome and her second inspirational book The Huahua Way, an homage to her beloved Chihuahua, Dr. Zira, who recently passed away, will be released by Rebel Spirit Publishing next year.
Carla’s hilarious comedy can be heard around the world on various Sirius XM stations, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TIDAL and Pandora. You can also hear her melodic voice co-hosting the LA AF podcast and on several commercials and cartoons. Carla has five comedy albums currently available on iTunes including Mobius Stripper, The Best of the Worst of Carla Collins, Recovering Nudist, PandEPIC! and the newly released Reverse Mortgage Cowgirl. Quite a departure from her origins as a weather girl/news anchor.
A fierce animal lover, Ms. Collins has been involved with the SPCA and Humane Society for years and is an ambassador for World Animal Protection. She resides in Los Angeles, California and is currently searching for her next rescue animal(s).
Being an emotional support cougar herself, Carla is allowed on most planes and in most restaurants.
