OpheliaBitz

***QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE ARE NOT WELCOME AND SHALL NOT BE ANSWERED***
Avast ye scurvy landlubbers, ye be in the domain of slap-stick pin-up Ophelia Bitz, hang on to your hats (and all other valubles).
One of the finest wits in London, Bitz is a compere, radio comedienne for Channel 4 Radio and occasional guest reporter on Resonance FM.
Her bread and butter jobs include sideshow performance artist, comedienne, muse, music promoter and events organiser, writer and cabaret performer specialising in hands-free cocktail shaking and other forms of dubious anatomical bar-tending.
She sings, dances, sets herself on fire, teaches fandancing to old ladies in Blackpool and is generally one of the UKs finest comic performers and party mammals.
She has shaken and stirred for the likes of Derren Brown, Tim Burton, The Dresden Dolls, The TigerLillies, The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Reggie Watts, The Puppini Sisters and Mika. She was also Beth Ditto's favourite person for an afternoon but the only witnesses to this were roadies and the Stereophonics.
She has graced every stage from the beloved Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, Raymond's Review Bar and The Cobden Club to The Speigel Tent, The Astoria and KoKo, with more adventures in festivals and shows nationally and internationally scheduled this year and beyond.....
Bitz is a performer of many genres from physical theatre to occasional cancan girl, with lashings of grog and naughtiness along the way. She likes nothing better than behaving like a dingbat, reeling out the puns, witticisms and filth and setting herself on fire. She has appeared in Rolling Stone, Time Out, The Guardian, The Independent, Grazia, NME, Scarlet, DX International, Super-Super and ID.
Here is a video directed by Alex De Campi what Ophelia wrote and performed and is filthily proud ofThe Lowest Common Denominators!
