Jurandot was born and died in Warsaw. He first became successful at the end of the 1920s, and in 1930s grew in popularity. As writer, he co-founded the cabarets Qui Pro Quo and Cyrulik warszawski as well as contributed to other theatres such as Morskie Oko and Banda. He also wrote dialog for the films such as Ada to nie wypada, Manewry miłosne and Pani minister tańczy.
In 1942 he became the literary manager of the revue-theatre Femina in the Warsaw Ghetto, working with composer Ivo Wesby.

In 1952-55 he acted as director of the Satirical Theatre (Teatr Satyryków) in Warsaw.[2]
