The Opera House
Spend an evening with one of Australia’s sharpest comedic minds. Queen of comedy, Celeste Barber has a new unmissable show. ‘Backup Dancer’ promises to tackle major political topics like freeing nipples, inappropriately texting your therapist, and what it would really be like to be Taylor Swift’s backup dancer. Celeste is promising a night of jokes, hilarious storytelling, and a lot of high kicks.
Since winning Raw Comedy in 2015 (Australia’s largest open mic competition) Celeste has gone on to produce sell-out shows in Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand, and across Europe. She’s released a critically acclaimed memoir, starred in the number one Netflix series ‘Wellmania’, and had her own comedy special filmed at the Sydney Opera House.
Thrilled to be touring her new show, Celeste said, “I’m excited to tell some jokes, relive some awkward memories and high kick my way across the stage.”
