Excellent Show

The Truth definitely lives up to her name. Her stage presence is captivating, she is professional and she kept the room laughing the whole time. Her punchlines were clean and respectful and exactly what we wanted for this event.. Also very affordable. This was a Church Fundraiser and everyone including several Pastors that we had in the room truly enjoyed her performance. I have received so many calls and messages from people that were so glad that they came.

New Pilgrim Baptist Church "Hats and High Tea"

Ms. Carla "The Truth" Young blood was everything we needed to set the atmosphere for our program. We started out the lunch with speakers and soloist elaborating on our theme and she took us home with laughter. Her presentation was well received and enjoyable. Yes, we laughed a lot.

Hilarious and so entertaining!

The Truth was nothing short of amazing! She had the whole room erupting in laughter the entire time. My family kept asking where I found her, so they can book her for future events. I look forward to seeing her again and will continue referring her to anyone looking for a good laugh to good, clean comedy!

What to expect

You can expect a professional entertainer who will be on time and do what is agreed to in the contract with guaranteed satisfaction from the audience. Carla "The Truth" is personable and relates to her audience.

About

Carla is a natural-born talent…

She has been making people laugh from the time she could talk. Being the baby of five children...no joke, her way of getting attention was to entertain and make her family laugh.

Carla is a proud graduate of Birmingham-Southern College. She worked over twenty-five years as a Professional Accountant, which includes fifteen years as a CPA. Many of her fans find this very hard to believe.

Never finding total satisfaction in the accounting profession, Carla decided to add REALTOR to her repertoire. In 2011, the Birmingham Association of REALTORS hosted a fundraiser titled "REALTOR's Got Talent". Carla jumped at the opportunity to do what she's always loved to do and that's to make others laugh; BUT from a "real" comedy stage underneath the bright lights in a room filled with over 400 people at Stardome Comedy Club. She performed her first set and never looked back. Carla began performing and winning open mic contests, talent competitions and gaining notice in Birmingham, AL because of her quick wit and in-your-face "clean" comedy. All of this led to Carla’s recent invitation to open for the stage play reading of “HOME” in Harlem, New York.

In October 2015, Carla was diagnosed with breast cancer. She says “this situation just gave me more material and the desire for more stage time”. She uses her diagnosis to encourage others.

In October 2019, Carla released her debut book, Cancer Ain't Funny! Laugh Anyway...

Carla's goal is to make millions of people laugh...including you!
