It's as hard to imagine Hamburg without Olivia Jones as it is to imagine Hamburg without St. Pauli itself - because if you think of the Kiez, art and Hamburg originals, you can't miss Olivia Jones! The most famous drag queen in Germany is at home on the Kiez and makes her mark on the cityscape of St. Pauli in an unmistakable way in the form of numerous shows, events and tours.
Olivia's real name is Oliver and she comes from the small town of Springe near Hanover. But Oliver realised early on that Olivia was his calling. So he moved to Hamburg straight after school and was immediately able to gain a foothold in the world of cabaret and travesty. The big breakthrough came in 1997 when Olivia became "Miss Drag Queen Of The World". From then on, at the latest, there was no stopping the steep career of this dazzling artistic figure.
Quirky, colourful, omnipresent
Whether on the small theatre stage or in front of the big cameras - Olivia Jones is as active as few other artists. Numerous television appearances in every conceivable broadcast format grace her CV, as do live performances ranging from comedy to burlesque. As a guest on talk, game or reality shows, she provides colour and variety on TV screens. An Olivia Jones show in the theatre is always a unique highlight.

Proximity to her fans is more important to her than celebrity cult. That's why Olivia Jones owns several locations in St. Pauli and has conceived various events where guests can experience her up close. On the one hand, there is her cool neighbourhood pub, the "Olivia Jones Bar". On the other hand, there is the show club, where live shows and performances from the world of travesty and burlesque take place regularly. Her men's strip club "Olivias Wilde Jungs" (the only one of its kind in the whole of Germany!) is also very special. Only ladies are admitted here and can enjoy the show of the male strippers.
On a neighbourhood tour with Olivia Jones
Sightseeing tours and city tours are also a speciality of the tireless drag queen. "Olivia's Safari" is the name of the Olivia Jones tour that takes her guests around the Reeperbahn and gives them an insight into the equally tireless neighbourhood life. Olivia Jones takes her guests on a harbour tour on "Olivia Ahoy": from the ship, it's an opportunity to see Hamburg from a different perspective.
Over the years, the popular and go-getting artist has gathered many friends and supporters around her. And so there are celebrities on Olivia Jones' tours and guided tours every now and then. From actress Tanja Schumann to cult star Lilo Wanders, there are many well-known names from the comedy or erotic scene who take part in Olivia Jones' events and shows.
Cult figure with a heart
Those who like it fun and individual are welcome at Olivia Jones. Tickets are especially popular with tour groups who want to discover Hamburg's neighbourhood life - so parties of bachelor and hen parties can often be found in the audience. Experiencing Olivia Jones live is definitely an event that should not be missed on any trip to Hamburg. Her inimitable style and her joyful, warm manner make her a unique personality and a true highlight that should not be missed.

Away from the stage, Olivia Jones is very socially committed. Whether for animal rights, AIDS relief or as a campaigner for diversity and tolerance - Olivia is committed to making the world a better place. For this reason, among others, she has already received several awards and honorary titles.
