Ophelia Bitz!

For all of you who attended April's Champagne Circus you would have encountered a larger than life character, notorious for her heathen sense of humour, and wicked, wicked ways. 
Our Ring Mistress Ophelia Bitz is back in Helsinki on October 8th bringing with her more sordid tales of desire, depravity, and songs of seduction and scandal, whilst maintaining her enviable charisma and dashing sense of humour.
We are SO excited to have her back, she was one of the stars of April's show, and she hasn't let us forget it in a hurry. I'm sure those in attendance will remember Bitz's kiwi fruit exploits for a very long time to come, indeed...


Not only is Ophelia Bitz an international show girl of the highest esteem. She also has recently won a flying gold penis trophy at The Erotic Awards, London for Sexy Comedienne of the year! 


(The Erotic Awards are run by charity Outsiders, to celebrate sex workers, activists, writers and artists, and to raise awareness of the rights of people with physical disabilities. Founded by Tuppy Owens the awards serve as a fund-raiser and party.)


Ophelia produces a phenomenal cultural event celebrating sexual diversity, antique pornography, ethical consumption of contemporary pornography , cabaret and comedy! The event is called ArtWank, and you can read more about it here; ART WANK!!!!

Hosted by Miss Ophelia Bitz!

"Bitz may have the voice of an angel but she also has the mouth of a filthy gutter-slut. We expect great things" 
Time Out London

The sharpest razor-tongued wit in London; Ophelia Bitz is a vocalist, ring-mistress, compere and performance artist with a reputation for stealing hearts, drinks, and anything else not nailed to the table. Hang on to your hats!

"The alarmingly alluring Ophelia Bitz" The Telegraph

Sharing stages and screens with Derren Brown, Tim Burton, The Tiger Lillies, Paul Zennon, The Puppini Sisters and popstar Mika as well as touring her own brand of outrageous sexy comedy across Europe, USA, Australia and the UK Ophelia is the ultimate all-round entertainer. She has studied BA Theatre Arts and Drama at Goldsmiths College and Vocal Performance at the Institute for Contemporary Music Performance.
 "Dirty, witty, fabulous: Ophelia Bitz is f*cking hilarious" Martyn Jacques, The Tiger Lillies

Wether commanding audiences of thousands as she hosts glittering burlesque and circus shows, enchanting underground cabaret clubs with her powerful and expressive voice or risking life and limb as she executes traditional sideshow stunts with fire, broken glass and rubber lobsters, Ophelia gives everything her 20 years of stage experience have taught her and never leaves an audience unsatisfied wether she is hosting a life-drawing class in a shark tank (Brighton 2008) or creating a sacrilegious musical in an Austrian prison (2007)
"That inimitable potty-mouthed pin up, Ophelia Bitz!" Venue Magazine

Draped with her menagerie of faux circus animals (two headed wolves, winged monkeys, rubber lobsters) and always corsetted and glittered to perfection Ophelia looks as striking as she sounds. Boasting a cleavage as deep as her mind is broad and striding the stage on perilously expensive shoes, Ms Bitz leaves a lasting impression!
