We can never talk about outstanding comediennes in Mzansi without mentioning Celeste Ntuli. She is referred to as the queen of the Zulu comedy and has proved to be the master of her craft on the Comedy Central Roast of Khanyi Mbau. She roasted Khanyi well and was one of the day’s best performers.
Celeste is an award-winning actress and comedienne with a cabinet of awards to show for it. The comedienne did not wake up in the entertainment industry; instead, she went to varsity to perfect her skills.
Here is a look at Celeste Ntuli’s age and educational qualifications:
The comedienne was born on the 25th of August 1978; she will turn 44 this year. One would never guess her age as she looks young and energetic. The comedienne is not married, and she doesn’t have children. Although single and old, she is not bothered by what society says about her. Celeste always has this to say to people who think she should be married and with kids:
Society has been conditioned to think that a woman who hasn’t had a man for most of her life, like me, is a broken woman. That there’s something wrong with her. But that is so wrong it’s a distorted view of life”
