Celia is an Aussie comedian who has been a regular performer over the last few Fringes and is a firm favourite of many and that is of no real surprise given the quality of each previous productions. And this years is right up with her very best.

Ms Pacquola is a really funny lady, always smiling, on stage and generates a feel good atmosphere in her gigs. But she likes to know what happens next, and will try almost any source to see into the future, psychics, card readers even palm readers are all methods she has resorted to.

Throughout the hour she performs there is never a drop in the energy she generates and her material is bursting at the seams with laughs, often with herself as the butt of the humour. She is a compelling storyteller and it is very easy for one gets caught up with the story and like her want to know what is going to happen.

There is no real message in the show but that certainly doesn’t detract from the entertainment value for money that she offers and there is no need for a crystal ball to discover this.
