He became famous in the 1990s as a member of the comedy troupe of the legendary show "RTL Saturday Night".
He swept through these as a hypermotor speed speaker, grimace artist and noisemaker.

At the end of the 1980s, Nontschew, born in East Berlin in 1969, was a trained mechanic and performed as a breakdancer and beatboxer.
He took his ability to create background noise with him to “Saturday Night”, the show that RTL now says Nontschew had there with his comedy colleagues Wigald Boning, Olli Dittrich, Tanja Schumann and Stefan Juergens “TV history” written.
