Moreover, she acted and sang in musical productions like Happy End and Sekretärinnen. An engagement at Munich’s Komödie im Bayerischen Hof lured her back to her hometown. She performed in comedic plays like 8 Frauen and Der Damenschneider and took on a role in the British tragedy Honour, which then toured nationally.

In 2010 she was picked by Til Schweiger to play in the box-office hit Kokowääh which went on to win the German Comedypreis in 2011. Big screen productions followed like Oscar Roehler’s autobiography Quellen des Lebens and Hans Steinbichler’s Q and A for which she was hand-picked by the director himself in 2012.
