Celia Pacquola

I’m As Surprised As You Are

It’s been nine years since Celia Pacquola last hit the stage in Montreal. Nine! In that time, she’s filmed multiple comedy specials, earned three Best Show nominations at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, starred in Aussie TV hits (Utopia, Rosehaven), hosted the iconic Thank God You’re Here, won awards, swore on live TV, made a quiche for the first time — and also a baby.

Now she’s back, and it’s time for a catch-up (where only she talks).

Not across Australian TV? No stress. You might know Celia from Live at the Apollo, Chelsea Lately, Russell Howard’s Good News, The Rob Brydon Show, or Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

I’m As Surprised As You Are is her seventh and best stand up hour yet: a silly, gossipy, wine-fuelled show full of personal stories from a performer at the top of her game.

“A comic who can step to the level of Tina Fey.” – The Herald Sun

“Precision-engineered and hilariously funny” ★★★★★ Chortle, 2024
