Early life

Born in Munich, von Wagner grew up in Miesbach, southeast of Munich. His father, originally from Prussia,[1] was a lawyer, while his mother was a housewife. After completing his final school exams, he pursued studies in Communications Sciences, Modern History, and Media Law at Ludwig-Maximillian-University in Munich. In 2003, he graduated with a degree of "Magister Artium." The subject of his master's thesis was "Political cabaret on German television. Between social criticism and self-promotion. An expert survey." Prior to and during his university studies, he set up his first "Kabaret" show, "Warten auf Majola", which premiered in 1997.[2]

In 2012 he joined the German TV show heute-show. In 2014, he co-hosted the popular television political satire Kabarett program, Die Anstalt alongside with Max Uthoff.[3][4] Additionally, from 2004 to 2014, he was a member of the First German Forced Ensemble, a trio that included Mathias Tretter and Philipp Weber.
