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. The world tour has been a phenomenal success, with nearly 100,000 tickets sold across North America, Europe, Dubai, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia throughout 2024 and 2025.
