Celeste Ntuli

She’s known as South Africa’s “Queen of Zulu Comedy,” but the funnywoman made her debut on the popular soap opera Isibaya in 2013 for which she garnered Golden Horn Award nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. A finalist on the talent competition series So You Think You're Funny!, the curvaceous Empangeni native is recognized as the first local female comic to film a standup special, Seriously Celeste -- a collection of her performances across the country.
