Artistic career

By his own account, his last name brought him to comedy . According to Pufpaff, the origin of the name should be traced back to Hanseatic black powder dealers. In order not to be ridiculed, he went on the offensive, completed a comedy workshop and founded the cabaret trio "Das Bundeskabarett" in 2004 with Henry Schumann and Maxim Hofmann (replaced by pianist Martin Zingsheim in 2007 ), which was part of a tour program “A hard case” with Germany, its reunification and the conflict between East and West Germans dealt with.

As a solo artist he appears in the WDR broadcasts Mitternachtsspitzen , Fun (k) haus and Nightwash , as well as in nuhr im Erste ( RBB / WDR).

He received his first award as a solo cabaret artist in 2010 in the context of the German cabaret competition Prix ​​Pantheon , where he delighted the audience with “a sharp-tongued, insidious and politically wonderfully incorrect performance” that they honored him with the Audience Award Applauded & Booed. From 2011 he was on tour in Germany with his first solo program “Why!”, And since 2015 with his second program: “Auf Anfang”. From 2005 to 2009 he worked as an actor at the Springmaus improvisation theater in Bonn in the Springmaus Party Ensemble and also assisted Bill Mockridge as an assistant director.
