Bruno Jonas (born in Passau, Germany, on December 3, 1952) is a German cabaret artist and actor.

Education

Jonas began working as a trainee butcher in his father's company. Many people predicted he would become a priest, but he prefers to pray from the cabaret stage. Between 1975 and 1982, he studied German, political science, and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. After several years he began to study theatre.

Career

In 1975, Jonas played with Sigi Zimmerschied in the cabaret Scharfrichterhaus. After an engagement as a writer and actor at the national theater in Munich he started his first soloprogram in 1979. He reached Germany through his first own radio show "Jonas" and regular appearances with Dieter Hildebrandt as member of the cabaret theatre Münchener Lach- und Schiessgesellschaft and later until today in the political cabaret TV series "Scheibenwischer" (together with Mathias Richling). [ [http://www.daserste.de/scheibenwischer/ ARD:Scheibenwischer] ] He also appeared as monk Bruder Barnabas at "Starkbieranstich" on the "Nockherberg" in Munich, a traditional ceremony usually in March, in which Bruder Barnabas is giving a ticking-off to the present high-ranked politicians.
