Felix Lobrecht

[1] After his mother died of breast cancer in 1993, his then-single father Frank moved him and his two siblings, Julian and Sophie, to Berlin.

In the meantime, Lobrecht had dropped out of an apprenticeship to become an industrial clerk and journalism studies.

[5] In the winter semester of 2012/13, he started studying political science and economics at the University of Marburg.

On stage, he mostly tells absurd stories of everyday life garnished with bad puns and long pauses.

It was written in collaboration with poetry slammer Malte Rosskopf and was published by the Satyr Verlag in October 2015.

[11] Lobrecht's second book Sonne und Beton ("Sun and Concrete") was published by the Ullstein Verlag on March 10, 2017.

In this book, he tells stories and anecdotes inspired by his childhood and growing up in Neukölln and Gropiusstadt.

[14] Since September 2017, Lobrecht and the author and TV host Tommi Schmitt have released a podcast called Gemischtes Hack on a weekly basis.

[16] The title has several meanings: It translates to “mixed ground meat”, which usually contains pork and beef in Germany.

In each episode, Lobrecht is shown common utensils and he has to guess what kind of life hack you could do with them.
