Sy Thomas (face of Nickelodeon; “Brilliantly entertaining!” 5star)

Sy Thomas is a presenter, actor and stand-up comedian. 

Sy burst into the world of presenting at kids TV channel Nickelodeon, where he fronted all of the channel's live studio projects and continuity links for nearly 2 years. Most recently he has been presenting the huge CITV show 'The Cool Stuff Collective' - a games and gadgets show that he also helped devise and writes the scripts for. 

He has also covered red-carpet film premieres, band interviews, and on-the-street vox-pops, for entertainment show 'Unlimited' on Facebook; and his warmth, charm, and humour have brought along further presenting opportunities for many other channels and companies, including MTV, Virgin Mobile, RDF Media, Vodafone, Sony and CBBC. Sy also became something of an accidental adventurer when he and fellow stand-up comedian Alexis Dubus drove 4000 miles through Africa and the Sahara desert in a car they bought for £100 - the award-winning film 'End of the Road' documents their epic journey. 

As a stand-up comedian Sy regularly performs throughout the UK and is in demand as both an act and host and compere. He is also one half of sketch double act 'Life of Si' who have two successful hour-long Edinburgh shows under their belts; have performed at further festivals in Brighton, Leicester and even Los Angeles; and have filmed fun stuff for CBBC, Wordia.com and Bushmills Whisky, and are currently developing a 'Life of Si' sitcom. 

Sy's wide-ranging comedy acting skills have also been put to use as a dancing policeman in CBBC's 'Little Howard's Big Question'; disbelieving his gran in a major advertising campaign for Volkswagen; and as the main role in Vodafone's multi-million viewed viral film 'Office Grand Prix' alongside Lewis Hamilton.
