About / Bio Yücel Kopal (1982) is a Turkish-Dutch storyteller whose voice is shaped by a colorful background. From law student to cafeteria owner and scrap gold dealer, Yücel’s unique life path is reflected in his raw and witty stories that explore the influence of our social environment on our behavior, serving as a thematic thread throughout his work. Yücel started writing with befriended comedians, but the urge to develop his own stories grew stronger and stronger. He was selected by the Podiumkunsten Fund for the first edition of #Nieuwestukken. This resulted in a piece that eventually led to his theater debut and an opportunity to pitch a tv show idea to producers during the Rose Stories Writersroom. Since then, Yücel has worked as a writer, actor and director on several tv and film projects such as ‘Mocro Maffia’, ‘Romaissa’, ‘Seefspees’ and ’Sihame’.
