While studying, he made his first appearances, including four months at the Masquerade Theater , the Piste aux Espoirs in Belgium and the Spring Festival Korea . After graduating as a business graduate, he attended the Dutch circus school De Hoogte. He then toured with the Traumtheater Salome, various European circuses and dinner shows as a juggler and artist.

Stephan Masur has been producing his own variety shows since 2005 under the name "Masurs Varietespektakel" with graduates from European and international circus schools with changing directors and choreographers. Since then, the shows have been featured on the Senftöpfchen cabaret in Cologne for one month each year , and since 2009 in the Pantheon Theater in Bonn and other locations.

With the help of Detlef Winterberg, Masur has developed his fictional character “Le Comte”, a shrill baroque aristocrat, in recent years. "Le Comte" is a mixture of juggler and comedian with boleadoras , hand shadow play, chapeau, bell concert and singing saw . This solo program premiered in Cologne and Bonn in 2013.
