Georgie Carroll is best known as the UK-born, Australia-based nurse turned comedian, as she grafted 20 years on the healthcare front line before swapping the pen torch for the spotlight.
She has now retired from nursing but has taken with her an unparalleled comedy voice and a staunch online medical following that have made her viral, in the best way, many times over. The most-viewed of her viral clips is the ''3 stages of nursing''. The terms dolphin, penguin, and Orca used in the clip are now ingrained in international nursing vernacular.
Nurse Georgie is an undeniable live comedy powerhouse. ''Sista Flo 2.0" is her most successful stand-up show, having sold in excess of 71,000 tickets, selling out her debut Edinburgh Fringe Festival, touring four countries, and winning the Best Comedy Award at the Adelaide Fringe. A versatile and dynamic performer – Georgie has been unstoppable in live spaces, moving swiftly from operating theatres to the London Palladium, the Sydney Opera House, and the Hammersmith Apollo.
Not shy of the camera – Georgie has released two comedy specials on Australian television and is a regular on the telly, having been seen on: The Project, Would I Lie to You? Have You Been Paying Attention? Just for Laughs and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Allstar and Oxfam Galas. She recently stormed her UK TV debut by reaching the live semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent 2023; she was adored by audiences and judges alike.
Georgie also has a podcast because who doesn't? Her hit podcast, The Swab, is now in its 3rd Season with over 125,000 listens and a nomination for Best Comedy Podcast 2022 under its belt."……the podcast didn't set out to be funny; it was just me chatting to everyday nurses, staff room banter style. Turns out that this format is not funny'' Georgie.
Georgie is also an acclaimed and best-selling author. Nurse Georgie wrote the best-selling nursing "bible" "Off the Charts" (Pan Macmillan), which was nominated for the 2023 Russel Prize for humour writing.
Everything Georgie does is a genuine, hilarious, riotous celebration of the big-hearted, no-bullshit nurses that sooner or later play a part in all our lives.
