Celeste Barber - Backup Dancer

Australia’s queen of comedy, Celeste Barber, is set to return to Australian stages this August and September with her acclaimed show, Backup Dancer.

Following her sold-out 2024/2025 Australian, US, UK and European tour, Barber is now bringing her high-energy performance to nine regional cities she's never performed in before, giving fans in previously unvisited areas the chance to experience her signature blend of humour and storytelling — live and in person.

Backup Dancer dives into everything from social satire to awkward personal anecdotes and her lifelong dream to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, all delivered with Barber’s trademark wit, physical comedy, and unfiltered charm.

Don’t miss your chance to spend an evening with one of the country’s sharpest comedic minds.
