Annegret Steioff is an actress comedian and has been featured in many short films from her home country and now she’s making a name for herself in the U.S.  

Annegret was born and raised in a tiny German town that always smelled like burnt chocolate. Until she was three years old she lived with a Turkish Muslim immigrant family because her mom decided she would rather smell the roses. She was a florist. Annegret was supposed to take over the family business but she decided to go to university instead. If only she had chosen something REAL like Law, Agriculture or backpiping. Instead she got her BA in Acting, WON (!) the green card and moved to the us. Annegret gets her humor from her dad who was once approached about not cutting his grass and decided to bulldozer the garden, fill it with concrete and paint it green. That's also how Annegret learned about concrete burn.  

Check out some of her stuff by following the links below.
