Biography

Hill was born in Berlin-Wedding. Her mother was a nurse, and her father was a subway driver.[1] After finishing her Abitur in 1995,[2] she later studied drama.

Hill had her breakthrough in 2007, as an ensemble member of the ProSieben comedy show Switch reloaded, bringing her recognition as a comedian and impersonator. Her best parodies were for characters such as Heidi Klum, Angela Merkel, Daniela Katzenberger, Gundula Gause, Amy Winehouse and Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan.

Since 2009, Hill portrays "universal expert" Tina Hausten in the heute-show, a German adaptation of the American news satire The Daily Show. From 2011, Hill starred in her own format, Knallerfrauen, which is a sketch comedy known for sharp humour and its cutting wit. With the first series of Knallerfrauen, Hill also became very popular in China. [3]
