Celeste Barber stunned after hearing husband’s review of her Netflix show
Comedian Celeste Barber was stunned after hearing her husband’s feedback on her new Netflix series: “Can you say that again?”
Comedian Celeste Barber has received an early review of her new comedy series Wellmania from her husband Api Robin.
The 40-year-old said Api praised the series after watching a handful of episodes together at home.
And I was like, “We’re on four episodes, we’ve been together for 20 years and it’s taken you this long to tell me I’m really good,” she joked in an interview with 7Life on Saturday.
In Wellmania, which begins streaming on March 29, Celeste plays Liv, a woman who embarks on a strict “wellness journey” after a doctor diagnoses her with a “catastrophic” bill of health.
Celeste described her husband as “hot” and said she was very happy with Api’s verdict on her performance.

The sassy star continued, “I wrote it down because it was fun to hear. Like, “Can you say that again? I wanted to film you saying that, thank you so much.”
The Netflix series is a major highlight in the Australian comedian’s career, who shares two sons, Lou, 11, and Buddy, eight, with Api.
The Letdown star, who started out as an actress in serious roles on shows like All Saints, is set to star in the Netflix series.

Inspired by Brigid Delaney’s novel Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness, Celeste also serves as an executive producer on the eight-part series.
It also fits the comic perfectly, as she often mocks celebrities and influencers on Instagram for portraying an unrealistic image of beauty.
And Celeste couldn’t be happier than her social media fame that landed her a show on Netflix.
“I know that sounds ridiculous,” she said.
“But I’ve always been like, ‘I feel like I’m living on a reality TV show that nobody’s watching,’ and I’ve worked so hard to get to this point… I’m like, ‘ yes, now that it’s there. So I’m excited.’
Barber’s own stand-up comedy special will also air on Netflix this year
