2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Celya AB: Swimming
In her debut show, Celya AB won over the room within seconds of stepping out onstage, her outsider's insight into British life punctuated with razor sharp punchlines.
The stunning debut hour full of 'sharp and observant gags' (Joe Lycett) from one of comedy's most exciting breakthrough voices. A show about moving from Paris to Birmingham, finding yourself and learning to swim at 25. Chortle Best Newcomer winner 2022. Star of BBC New Comedy Award and Funny Festival Live. Tour support for Maria Bamford, The Guilty Feminist and St Vincent. Celya's magnetic stage presence and brilliantly crafted material has been seen on Comedy Central and the BBC. 'Great jokes, both classy and funny. A thoroughly engaging presence... a fine talent' (Chortle.co.uk).
