Celeste Barber tour Australia: How to get tickets

Beloved Australian comedian (and The Weekly’s December 2024 cover star) Celeste Barber is going back on tour!

The 43-year-old is set to perform her hit comedy show Backup Dancer in several Aussie towns later this year.

Previously, Celeste has performed Backup Dancer to audiences across North America, the UK, and Europe.

“I’ve been around the world with this show but nothing beats performing at home. I have so much history with so many of the regional places I’m bringing Backup Dancer to in August and September and I can’t wait to get out there and see my girls all over the country,” Celeste said of her upcoming tour.
