Biography
Harry Sideropoulos is an award-winning stage actor, MC, singer, voiceover artist, speaker, business man and foodie.
He started his public career many, many years ago on 94.7 Highveld Stereo’s Rude Awakening and became an integral part of the show for 5 years, before resigning to focus solely on stage and live entertainment.
Harry has been a successful theatre actor and producer, having staged a multitude of shows in his home-town of Johannesburg. Harry has also performed all over the world and has recently launched his brand of unique pop-up entertainment experiences around the country. Joburg is his home but migrates to Athens Greece every year for couple of months, using Athens as his base to create theatre experiences in Greece, Canada, Australia and America.
This year, Harry celebrates 20 years on stage. He loves good food but never wanted to run a full time restaurant, so he creates gastronomic pop-up culinary experiences around the country fusing food and entertainment for the corporate and private markets.
Harry is a very sought after MC with a unique approach to his entertaining. With his deep, gravelly voice, he becomes your event ring master, fusing his MC duties with comedy, song, audience interaction and playfulness, making you feel as though you’ve just been entertained by a friend.
Harry can also be booked as a key-note speaker for corporate companies, using his skills as a performer and a comic to fuel thought, encourage dialogue and to bring down the house laughing with his very unique, larger than life personality.
