Hello everyone, my name is Yvonne Hotz and I am the proud daughter of a snake woman and an electrician. I undoubtedly inherited my love of comedy from my grandmother, who was a great clown herself.
 After completing a solid education at the Hamburg Musical School, I soon found myself on stage, which is the centre of my world. And not only that: at Ostermeier in Berlin, I discovered my passion for theatre and staged my own show. Jerry Lewis, Gisela Schlüter and many others who are no longer known today were my heroes.
After proving myself with many renowned directors, I also found myself behind the camera. So today I am a humorous actress, editor and camerawoman – or, to put it simply, a comedian with a keen sense of film directing. Be that as it may, my own studio opens up many creative possibilities for me. I shot two award-winning documentaries in 2021 and 2024: Interview with (my) Mother and Queens of the Skies – Conversations with Female Artists Aged 70 to 100. My first feature-length documentary will be released in cinemas in 2026. ‘Happily Forgotten in Death’ – Living and Dying with Dementia.
