Australian comedienne Celeste Barber is bringing her unique brand of humour to the live stage, announcing a tour of Australia and New Zealand earlier today.
If you’ve found yourself on social media at any time over the last few years, you’d likely have stumbled across the sheer delight that is Celeste Barber.
Having kicked off her career as an actor and comedienne, Barber has found massive fame over the last few years for her recreations of the lavish images posted by high-profile models.
Dubbed as “the funniest woman on Instagram” by Vogue in 2018, Celeste Barber is the self-proclaimed empress of everyday sophistication and low budget lifestyle aspirations applauded by 5.8 million-plus followers on the service.
Speaking to The Guardian in 2017, Celeste Barber opened up about the humour that is found within her Instagram posts, noting that “one of them is a banging hot model and the other one is, well, me.”
“I never started out for it to be a body positive thing or be like, ‘fuck yeah’,” she explains. “It was always like, this is how celebrities get out of the pools [and] I’m like no, this is how you get out of the pool.”
Now, with Barber currently over in the middle of a US tour, which will soon turn into a European tour, the Australian comedienne is set to return home later this year for a highly-anticipated run of shows.
