Celia Pacquola
Celia Pacquola is an award-winning actor and comedian. She also suffers from anxiety. She wants to help millions of Australians through their battle with anxiety by telling her story, challenging stigma and showing a way through it. She will meet those suffering from the condition, those on the road to recovery and those who are helping with the journey.
Celia has always been obsessed with the future, but planned for none of it. She has created a name for herself both here and in the UK, performed at the three major comedy festivals around the world and was nominated for the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2014 with this show. Celia is also a rising star of the small screen appearing on everything from Utopia and Offspring to Have You Been Paying Attention?, Spicks and Specks and Dirty Laundry. Why not go? She could get hit by a bus tomorrow.
Co-creator, co-writer and star of ABC TV’s Rosehaven, Celia Pacquola is a true luminary of Australian comedy. A multiple award-winning writer-performer, she is sharp, frank, deft and smart as hell. The stand-up stage is where the journey all started for Celia and it’s where she happily returns in the triumphant All Talk – a homecoming of sorts for one of Australia’s most in-demand comedians.
