THE queen of the Zulu comedy wants to go back to acting.
Former Isibiya actress Celeste Ntuli has been a full-time stand-up comedian for the past few years.
Celeste has come a long way since she was first discovered performing in a marquee in Durban about nine years ago.
The Empangeni-born comedian was the second unmasked celeb on The Masked Singer South Africa season 2 over the weekend.
The 45-year-old shared some vague snippets about herself.
“I might still be a little slower than most, but my career isn’t,” she said.
She also mentioned that she misplaced an essential gadget while travelling abroad, which almost ruined her entire holiday.
Slow and steady, but the Tortoise's performance was anything but slow! ????

The comedian said she knew the performance was going to be different from comedy.
“It's totally different; it was not like I was doing a karaoke for people. There was that much pressure because you need to know the words, the rhythm although it was hard to perform with a mask on, those things are heavy," she said.
The actress wants to return to acting and is working on it.
“I'm busy doing my comedy show now. I do not have any TV shows that I'm working on. I'm working on my comedy shows. I'm doing a big show in August, and I'm hosting a great line-up of comedians," said the comedian.
Celeste said she has not really stopped acting and that people have been asking about her acting.
She said if she doesn't have work for TV, she will be constantly writing and performing.
