Mario Barth (born 1 November 1972 in Berlin) is a German comedian who mainly deals in his programs with the interactions between men and women.
Life
Barth was born as one out of six children in a Berlin family in Berlin-Mariendorf. His parents sent him to a Catholic private school. He is a Catholic and when he was young he volunteered as an altar boy. After finishing an apprenticeship as telecommunication electrician at Siemens in Berlin he started an education as actor, which he also finished successfully.
During several comedy-workshops, for example at the Comedy School in Cologne, he met actors and comedians such as Diether Krebs, Anka Zink and Thomas Hermanns. When he performed on TV shows such as NightWash and Quatsch Comedy Club, he gained a lot of experience on stage. Since the beginning of 2001 he has been on the road with his stage show "Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch!" (Men are pigs, but women are too). In 2003 he came up with his own comedy question-programm called "keine ahnung?" (no clue). The second season was broadcast in 2005. Barth was an occasional guest in the comedy show Schillerstraße, where amongst other things he could be seen as a heating engineer, an insect eliminator, a master potter and as a funeral director. Furthermore he took part in the RTL- show "Typisch Frau – Typisch Mann" right from the beginning.
On 28 October 2005 his Live-DVD "Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch!" was published after it had been recorded on 24 and 25 June in Berlin. The DVD reached the third place of the German album-charts and in the meantime it has been awarded ten times with platinum for being sold over two million times.
On 16 February 2006 Barth started his new program "Männer sind primitiv, aber glücklich!" (Men are primitive, but happy!) and for that he received the German Comedy Award in the category best live-comedy in October 2006. RTL broadcast on 1 and 8 December 2006 the program Mario sucht das Paradies aus, where he travelled around in Dubai, as a cowboy in Texas, as a fireman in Dallas, as a pilot à la Top Gun as well as in Hollywood with Ralf Möller. Since 30 November 2007 RTL has shown the ten-part, new entertainment program Mario Barth präsentiert. 2009 Mario Barth produced his own first movie, the comedy "Männersache", where he eleborated on the relationship between man and woman just as in his comedy-programs. Moreover the audio book "Männersache" came out in April of the same year. On 12 July 2008 Barth established a new world record in the category "live-comedy with the largest audience" as he performed in front of 70,000 people in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Until then the record was 15,900 comedy-visitors at a show by the US-comedian Chris Rock in London. With the performance he also published his single "Mensch Berlin" which he recorded with Paul Kuhn. In September 2008 the DVD "Die Weltrekord-Show: Männer sind primitiv aber glücklich!" was published which included the whole performance in the Olympic Stadium.
Mario Barth was elected out of 100 candidates to the „most embarrassing man" of Berlin by the Berlin journal "tip" by the end of 2008. On 2 May 2009 Barth started up his new stage program entitled "Männer sind peinlich, Frauen manchmal auch!". In September 2009 the matching live-cd was published. Since 2009 he is host to the comedy-show "Willkommen bei Mario Barth" on RTL. In March 2010 the cd-compilation "Die Trilogie" was released, which included his live on stage performances of the programs "Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch!", "Männer sind primitiv, aber glücklich!" as well as "Männer sind peinlich, Frauen manchmal auch!" (Men are embarrissing, but women sometimes too!).
In September 2010 the DVD of his on stage performances "Männer sind peinlich, Frauen manchmal auch!" was published. In December 2010 Barth registered the quotation „Nichts reimt sich auf Uschi" by the Cologne Lawyers Office Jonas as a protected expression although this quotation was noted by Oliver Kalkhofe and Dietmar Wischmeyer as presenters of the show Frühstyxradio at Radio ffn. A t-shirt producer who had printed this quotation on t-shirts was officially warned by the lawyer office Jonas whereby a value of claim of 100,000 € was set. Barth lives both in Berlin and in Düsseldorf where his entertainment company is settled.
