In addition to his work as a presenter, he also worked as an actor and was a regular presence in entertainment programs as well as his own television shows. His private life also attracted significant media attention, notably due to his relationships and marriages to Sandy Meyer-Wölden and Amira Aly—with whom he also co-hosted a podcast.

He resides in the Hahnwald district of Cologne.

This portrait for the comedian's 70th birthday also shows the artist from his sensitive side. He talks about his failed marriages, his religious upbringing and how he actually wanted to be a serious musician, but that comedy was ultimately more popular with audiences. In addition, many companions from Otto's early youth as well as later prominent companions have their say.

More than 180 appearances, 170,000 spectators and almost 40,000 kilometers driven in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With his program "It's my life - from the life of a B-list celebrity", Oliver Pocher played his way into the premier league of German comedians and, above all, into the hearts of his audience. "It's my life" is more than just 2 hours of the finest comedy. It is the ultimate life advice for everyone: Why can't you bring nail scissors on an airplane? What do Pinocchio and Rammstein have in common? And how do you get Oliver Pocher into bed? In his program, the former secondary school student, Jehovah's Witness and insurance salesman not only provides answers to these questions, but also inspires with unique dance interludes, bizarre parodies and unforgettable anecdotes from his life.
