Tommy Jaud

After completing his Abitur, Jaud served his compulsory civil service in a kindergarten.

He was creative producer of the comedy series Ladykracher and head writer for Sat.1's Die Wochenshow.

Jaud's published works, in German Vollidiot, Resturlaub and Millionär, have been recorded as audio books by Christoph Maria Herbst, and Vollidiot has been made into a film with comedian Oliver Pocher playing the main role of Simon Peters.

The film also features Ellenie Salvo González, Oliver Fleischer and Anke Engelke, and was directed by Tobi Baumann [de], whilst the script was written by Jaud himself.

He already had experience of working with Engelke and Baumann after they teamed up to write Ladykracher a few years previously.
