Mario Barth (born 1 November 1972 in Berlin) is a German comedian who mainly deals with the interactions between men and women.
Barth was one out of six children born to a family in Berlin-Mariendorf. Raised Catholic, he served as an altar boy in his youth, and his parents sent him to a private Catholic school. Barth completed an apprenticeship as a telecommunications electrician at Siemens in Berlin. Thereafter, in 1995, he started studying to become an actor.
During several comedy-workshops, such as the Comedy School in Cologne, he met other actors and comedians, including Diether Krebs, Anka Zink, and Thomas Hermanns. He gained experience by performing on TV shows such as NightWash and Quatsch Comedy Club. Since the beginning of 2001 he has been on the road with his stage show, Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch! (translated as "Men are pigs, but women are too"). In 2003, Barth had his comedy breakthrough with "Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch!". In the same year, he developed his own comedy question-program called Keine Ahnung? ("No Clue"), with its second season broadcast in 2005. In 2004, Barth published a "dictionary for men to understand women" called "Deutsch-Frau, Frau-Deutsch". Barth's dictionary sold out within the first days of its publication and so far 2 million dictionaries have been sold. The dictionary was also sold internationally in various countries such as South Korea, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Japan and Poland. Barth has been an occasional guest in the comedy show Schillerstraße, where his roles included, among other things, a heating engineer, an exterminator, a master potter and a funeral director. He also took part in the RTL show, Typisch Frau – Typisch Mann, from its inception.
On 28 October 2005, his Live-DVD, Männer sind Schweine, Frauen aber auch!, was published after being recorded on 24 and 25 June in Berlin. The DVD reached the number 3 position on the German album-charts, and has reached platinum status for selling over two million times. The following year, on 16 February, Barth started his new program, Männer sind primitiv, aber glücklich! ("Men are primitive, but happy!"), which 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 Barth travelled around 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. Beginning on 30 November 2007, RTL has shown the ten-part, new entertainment program, Mario Barth Präsentiert.
