Australia’s queen of comedy, Celeste Barber, has announced a 2024 Australian tour of her new show Backup Dancer. Backup Dancer promises to tackle a range of big political topics from freeing nipples and inappropriately texting therapists, to what it would really be like to be Taylor Swift’s backup dancer. A night of jokes, hilarious storytelling and a lot of high kicks. 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 with my new show Backup Dancer.” Excited to be promoting Celeste’s Backup Dancer tour, Paul Dainty AO, President and CEO of TEG Dainty said, "Celeste stands out as one of Australia's greatest entertainers, her last tour in 2022 was a huge success selling out in record time. Australia get ready for the complete Celeste Barber immersion in person."
