Since 2015, Celeste Barber has been putting her own spin on celebrities' photos and videos. Her parodies poke fun at the dramatic poses that models, actors, and influencers often strike in advertisements and social media posts. Barber's massive fanbase even includes celebrities she has parodied, like the Kardashian family. A trained actress and writer, Barber is touring the US this year, starting April 26 in Oxnard, California.
Celeste Barber has fallen out of bed, covered herself in dirt, and belly-flopped into a pool - all to make the internet laugh. The Australian comedian famously puts her own, self-deprecating spin on celebrities' photos and videos. Her Celeste Challenge Accepted series, which first went viral in 2015, pokes fun at the dramatic poses that models, actors, and influencers often strike in advertisements and social media posts.
The parodies are endearing and refreshing, and although they started as an inside joke between Barber and her sister, they've since catapulted her to internet fame. The comedian has over 3.2 million followers on Instagram alone, and her massive fanbase includes celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Lil Wayne, and Cindy Crawford. According to Stellar Magazine, a few members of the Kardashian clan have even reposted or shared Barber's parodies of them.
But Barber is no stranger to the spotlight; the comedian is also a trained actress and writer. Before her Celeste Challenge Accepted series took off, Barber appeared on several Australian TV series including "All Saints", "Home & Away", and "How Not to Behave".
Barber currently plays stay-at-home mom Barbara on the Australian television series, "The Letdown". She's also touring the US this year, starting April 26 in Oxnard, California. You can find tickets for her show, "Celeste Challenge Accepted Live", on her website.
