Born in Judenburg in Styria, he started doing cabaret in 1995 in Graz, and has received several prizes for his works, including the Salzburger Stier in 1998, the Deutscher Kleinkunstpreis, Prix Phanteon and RTL Comedy Award in 2000 and the austrian Karl in 2002.
In 2003, Poier participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 and won the 6th place with his title "Weil der Mensch zählt" ("Because humans count"). The song, and his stage act, were a parody of the excesses of the contest.
