Margrit Läubli completed her ballet training at the Zurich Opera House and her acting training in Zurich. Her first engagement took her to the Stadttheater Basel as a dancer. Under the direction of Hans Macke, she danced for five years until 1950 in the corps de ballet of the Stadttheater Zürich. A scholarship enabled her to pursue further ballet studies in Paris.

As a performer, Läubli appeared in the final two programmes of Cabaret Cornichon and subsequently joined Cabaret Fédéral, where she met her future husband, César Keiser. From 1964 onwards, the Keiser-Läubli cabaret duo performed together, with Läubli acting as producer and creator of their acclaimed 'Opus' programmes. Almost all of these award-winning shows premiered at the Theater am Hechtplatz in Zurich, followed by tours across Switzerland and guest performances in countries including Germany and the USA.
