"This is my biggest one yet, with the biggest solo show I’ve ever done in London (not to mention another big one that we'll be announcing soon).
"I can’t wait for you to see it."
Her latest show explores the concept of breaking free from shame and the ways our experiences shape our lives, often influenced by seemingly small moments from the past.
Known for her sharp observation and confident delivery, Celya AB has been described by Chortle as one of the 'finest joke writers of our age'. This is her fourth touring show.
Celya AB is also an accomplished writer and currently works on the first series of Sky’s Saturday Night Live UK.
Her previous shows, including Swimming, Second Rodeo, and Of All People, have all sold out at major comedy venues and festivals such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Soho Theatre, Just For Laughs Montreal, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
She won Chortle’s Best Newcomer Award in 2022 and has supported US comedian Maria Bamford and acclaimed musician St Vincent.
Her writing credits also include work for the BBC, Channel 4, and Comedy Central, as well as contributing to James Acaster’s Springleaf.
She is a regular writer on various radio programmes and has made regular panel appearances on The News Quiz.
The Scotsman described her as 'a superb contriver of pithy, memorable punchlines,' while the British Comedy Guide has called her stand-up 'exceptional, not to mention impressively original'.
Tickets are expected to be in high demand following the success of her previous tours.
