She completed her studies in Entertainment Technology at the Durban University of Technology, where her love for performance was cemented. Her comedy journey began in 2005, and by 2009, she was already a finalist on So You Think You’re Funny.

Since then, Celeste has become a household name, performing at top shows including Blacks Only, SA Comic’s Choice Awards, and Stand Up Zulu. She took her talent international in 2022 with a sold-out show at London’s Leicester Square Theatre.
