In Paris from 1980 to 1983 he attended the “École de Étienne Decroux” drama school and from 1982 to 1984 the “École Phillipe Gaulier”. His acting career began in 1984 in Paris in the theater production “Amadeus” under the direction of Roman Polański .

Between 1986 and 1989 he went on tour as a clown with Circus Roncalli in Germany and Russia . For the next three years he gave a comic theater workshop in Hanover . In 1992 he could be seen on stage again, on the one hand in the "Clowns" theater production in Berlin, as well as in the winter garden in the Polygontheater in Zurich . Another important step in his career was the comedy act with Loriot in the ARD production " Stars in der Manege ", which the two developed together and finally performed in 1994. In 1995 he worked as a director for the variety show "Scenario".

Shub had four children with his wife. His eldest son was killed in an accident in the old town hall in Hanover in 2001 .
