BioGRAPHY
STEFAN TITZE was born in 1994 in Kamen, NRW. His interest in writing was clear from a young age. He worked for the local newspaper and wrote a play for his school. In his free time, he made music. He played in various bands and took voice lessons, which led him to perform in several musicals.
After graduating high school in 2013, Stefan moved to Cologne, where he completed his journalism degree while working as a student assistant at the production company bildundtonfabrik. Jan Böhmermann brought him on as the youngest member of his writing team for the first edition of the award-winning satire show NEO MAGAZIN.
Since 2014, Stefan has been hosting one of Germany's most successful comedy podcasts DAS PODCAST UFO with Florentin Will, with whom he regularly tours a live version of the show.
In 2016, he co-developed the YouTube comedy channel Gute Arbeit Originals for bildundtonfabrik and Funk, for which he was head writer. He was recognized in 2018 with the Studio Hamburg Young Talent Award for his work on Gute Arbeit Originals and the sketch comedy show Kroymann.
At the end of 2017, Stefan conceived of the idea for a teen comedy-drama based on real-life events, which led to him co-developing the internationally successful Netflix series How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast). Together with the writing team, he wrote Seasons 1, 2, and 3 and also worked as a producer for the series, for which he was awarded the Grimme Award, the Austrian Romy, and the German Television Prize. The series premiered at Cannes in 2019.
Since 2022, he can regularly be seen performing improv comedy shows in Cologne and Hamburg with Florentin Will. In preparation for their 2024 tour of TITZE&WILL they trained in long-form improv with world class improvisers in New York City and Berlin.
Stefan directed several sketches for Gute Arbeit Originals and also gained experience directing on both the Second and First Unit while serving as executive producer for How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast). Stefan is now working on his feature film debut.
