Lansdowne Folk Club presents laughs and music with comedic singer/songwriters Carla Ulbrich and Barry Rabin on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024.
Carla Ulbrich is a comical singer-songwriter and guitarist whose songs cover topics such as Waffle House, Klingons, and psycho exes. A displaced Southerner, this South Carolinian now resides in New Jersey. Carla’s songs have been aired on numerous radio stations, including WSM, the BBC, Dr. Demento, SiriusXM Comedy Radio, NPR’s Morning Edition and well over 100 college and community stations around the globe.
Carla Ulbrich
Carla has performed in venues ranging from Club Med to the MENSA convention, colleges, the Kerrville and Philadelphia Folk Festivals, and Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe. Carla has released nine indie CDs and is a past winner of the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter Competition, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase, The Walnut Valley Festival (Winfield) Song Contest, The Logan Awards (for excellence in comedy music), and The Just Plain Folk Awards (Best Novelty/ Comedy Album).

Chester County (PA) native Barry Rabin’s songs tackle such critical social issues as horse castration, dancing with poultry, and the star-crossed love lives of New Jersey condom factory workers.
Barry has performed in such venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival (five times), Nashville’s Bluebird Café, The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and Catch a Rising Star in New York City. When he’s not writing and performing funny songs, he can be found practicing law in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. Barry’s motto is, “Write the songs that haven’t been written yet – and for good reason!”
