Karli Evans

Hi! I'm Karli. As far as 'Who am I?' goes, that's a harder question to anwser. I'd like to give you the full scope, but every time I try to nut it out, I realise: I'm an extrovert (Parties! People! Karaoke!), but...I really like my alone time (Quiet! Books! Meditation...shhhh). I take my work really seriously (Do NOT disturb), but there's nothing more important than play (Let's go, I don't want to miss the pre-party party). I thrive in structure, but love nothing more than off-the-wall ideas. Maybe that's why we spend more time talking about What We Do rather than Who We Are...

What I do (the proper bio)

Karli has over 20 years of experience in both film and theatre. She can be seen in the 2023 feature film, The Switchblade Sisterhood, which won multiple awards at festivals around the world and was nominated for best ensemble performance at Maverick Movie Awards. 2022 short film, Touched which won 3 awards at international festivals, and the 2020 feature, Public Eye which won 20 awards including best ensemble cast. Most recently, Karli had the joy of playing Rose in the 2024 feature film To The Tooth and Erica Saint Eaves in Davo Hardy's 2025 feature, Mothers, Lovers and Others. Both films are currently in post-production.
As a theatre actor/ writer/ producer, she has been thrilled to bring the comedy show, This Is My Box to Sydney, Regional NSW, New York, and Edinburgh to packed audiences and four-star reviews and one woman show, Escape Room, to Sydney Fringe 2024, which received four-star reviews and was shortlisted for 'Best In Theatre'. Writing is an equal love for Karli. She has written and performed numerous theatre productions which have been staged in Australia, the UK, and New York, and is currently working on a three-part mini-series based on a real story of survival. She specialises in scripts based on real-life events, bringing high levels of empathy and compassion to all her work.

Some people who said some nice things:

MOTHERLODE 2017 '...Evans delivers the monologue with a sense of psychological accuracy, along with thorough emotional authenticity, causing us to not only witness the pain hidden behind some of our everyday facades but also to understand the depth of meaning that having children could mean.' - Suzy Goes See
THIS IS MY BOX 2013 - 2014 '...It's a seamlessly choreographed hour about social pressures, delivered with pin-sharp timing and vocal dexterity, particularly during a protracted tongue-twister sketch - about Christmas hampers - which deserves a standing ovation... But as well as being technically impressive, these supremely talented girls are crease-up funny.' - Fiona Shepherd, The Scotsman (4 stars)
DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA - 2014 '...Evans is gut-wrenchingly revealing, exposed, and uncomfortably honest, her character is broken however loveable... Doolan matches Evans in strength and passion, both giving startlingly engaging performances.' - Penny Spirou, Australian Stage
