Colin Moss is a seasoned entertainer, well known in South African film and comedy circles. He was described by the Sunday Times as the "most famous face in South Africa". But what many people don’t know, is that he started his career as a stand up comic. It was when he was living on fruit in the garden of his commune in Johannesburg, that he started performing comedy - in order to make enough money for toothpaste, beer and petrol. Before long, his talent was recognised by producers and he was given his first screen job as Stewart Buller in Isidingo. Comedy is a lifelong passion of his and so he continually goes back to his roots and regularly works the comedy circuit - both locally and in the UK and Ireland. This year we was awarded "Most popular male celebrity" by YOU magazine and he featured in the 2006 Heat magazine Top 100. He was the presenter of Idols 2003, 2005 and 2007. Movies: Television: Top Billing insert Presenter Jan/Feb 05 Presenter of Idols 2003 and 2005. Presenter MNet Fear Factor 2002. Presenter City Life ETV. Stuart Buller on Isidingo for two years. "Mudd" in UK Comedy TV series Cave Girl.
As a Corporate MC / Host / Entertainer, Colin never disappoints. He makes it his business to find out about the company, its products and the topic before appearance. He’s a hit with all. As one of the few "cross-over" Comics, Colin is as comfortable playing to a house of 18 year olds as he is entertaining Adults.
