Who is Hella von Sinnen?

Hella Kemper known by her stage name Hella von Sinnen is a German entertainer. She had several TV shows on German private channels. Since the show's first air date on 11 January 2003, she has formed the two permanent panel members of the award-winning weekly Sat.1 improvisational comedy show Genial daneben presented by her main TV partner Hugo Egon Balder. In this show, von Sinnen, Hoëcker and three varying comedians try to answer strange questions sent in by the audience. Her stage name is a pun on the German von preposition denoting noble descent; von Sinnen is a German expression for mad or insane.

She supported the fight for same-sex marriage in Germany with her wife Cornelia Scheel, adopted daughter of former President of Germany Walter Scheel.
