When award-winning humorous songwriter Carla Ulbrich fell ill in
2002, she used her wit and off-center perspective to cope with the
many obstacles in her path. Carla suffered two strokes and kidney
failure, along with accompanying anemia, hair loss, weight loss,
congestive heart failure, pleurisy, fever, migraines, and fatigue.
Because of the strokes, she had to re-learn the guitar from scratch
that year, spending her many hours in doctors' waiting rooms penning
funny parodies about her malady and the absurdity of the health care
system. The result? Her third CD, "Sick Humor," which features songs
such as "What If Your Butt Was Gone," "Prednisone," "Sittin in the
Waiting Room," and "On the Commode Again."
The South Carolina native's whimsical songs are heard on numerous
radio stations, including Sirius and XM radio and the syndicated
shows "Bob and Sherrie in the Morning" and "The Dr. Demento Show."
Carla is back to touring all over the country, appearing at various
listening venues such as The Bluebird Cafe and Eddie's Attic,
festivals including Kerrville and Falcon Ridge, medical and nursing
conventions and banquets, concert series, colleges, patient support
groups, and the occasional comedy club. She has also appeared USA's
Up All Night and PAX TV.
