Ines Torelli (née Ines Stierli, born 14 June 1931) is a Swiss comedian, radio personality, and stage, voice and film actress starring usually in Swiss German language cinema and television and stage productions.
Born and raised in St. Gallen, Canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland to Walter Stierli, Ines Torelli worked as a domestic helper in 1948/50, the so-called Welschlandjahr which at that time usually teenage women absolved in western Switzerland (Welschland) to improve the knowledge of the French language. As an autodidact Torelli got a first chance in the "Cabaret Rüeblisaft" those member she became between 1954 and 1956. Subsequently, she was engaged by the Cabaret Federal in Zürich, followed by various tours along with Schaggi Streuli, among others in "Sie und de Chef". On Theater am Hechtplatz Torelli embodied the title roles in various musicals, so in 1965 in "Bibi Balù", in 1967 in "Golden Girl", in 1968 "Pfui Martina" and in 1972 in "Viva Banana". In 1968 she starred alongside Ruedi Walter and Margrit Rainer as Olly Moreen in Die kleine Niederdorf-Oper at the Corso Theater in Zürich.
Ines Torelli played in various farces at Bernhard Theater Zürich, as partner of Jörg Schneider and Paul Bühlmann, so among other things in 1968 in "Mademoiselle Pepsi", "Der keusche Lebemann" in 1972, in 1974 in "Die Schwindelfiliale" and in 1976 in "Der fidele Casimir". Unsatisfied by these roles, in 1977 she starred, with artistic but not a commercial success, in the solo program "Torelli total". Nevertheless, she continued to play in comedies like "Potz Millione", with Rainer and Walter and directed by Inigo Gallo, on Bernhard-Theater in 1979/80 that also became a big tour success, and in 1982 in Yves Jamiaque's "Acapulco, Madame" in the dialect version of Schneider and directed by Gallo at the Theater am Hechtplatz.
