About me

"Comedy big bang from the analog era," a famous journalist wrote about me in the last review two weeks ago. Born with a funny bone, my parents used to call me a “clown” in Hungarian — Bohóc. Well, here I am, after 30 years in showbiz, and Bohóc is still going strong.
My commercial agent once described me like this:
“She has guts for ugliness.” (I made a lot of money with that pitch!)
They say I’m a chameleon — and makeup is definitely my friend.
I’m fun to work with, strong in improv, and very experienced: over 40 theatre productions with leading roles. I just finished playing Florence Foster Jenkins in both English and German. (What a challenge for my brain… OMG.)
I’m also a voice actress and singer. Right now, I’m touring Europe as Frida Kahlo in an immersive art show. And in the Swiss version of Garfield, I am the voice of Marge Malone.
I can milk sheep — and yes, I can still do the splits. Isn’t that cool?
