Timmy No Brakes Bio:

Timmy Stiefler first made his mark on K*ll Tony, the world’s #1 comedy podcast, where his off-the-rails persona Timmy No Brakes and sharp improvisation instantly went viral. With zero filter and a relentless pace, he’s built a reputation for characters that are as unhinged as they are unforgettable. Since his breakout, Timmy has taken his unpredictable style to stages across the country, blending chaotic character work, sharp crowd interaction, and a no-brakes energy that keeps audiences guessing at every turn.
