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.

Due to overwhelming demand, Celeste will also return her fun-filled outrageous night of laughs to Sydney and Melbourne for special encore shows.

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.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
