Summary

Happy In Isolation Thursday, self-isolated pals! Today on the show, we bring you the very warm, very witty Celia Pacquola. When Celia isn't winning Dancing with the Stars Australia, she’s busy being one of Australia’s best comedians, writers and actors. Celia - along with Luke McGregor - is the brains behind the award-winning comedy series, Rosehaven, on the ABC, and has also appeared in Utopia, The Beautiful Lie, and Have You Been Paying Attention. In our interview with Celia, we chat about it all: From how she got into comedy in the first place, to what it’s like navigating mental health in a pandemic when her mind is constantly idle. We felt instantly calmer after this chat with Celia, and we hope her charm lifts your day as much as it did ours. Thank you so much to BROSA furniture for making this episode of Shameless possible.
