Mario Barth, which was one of the entertaining issues that you were facing?
A professional colleague of yours wanted to know which fruits you should be banned.
And?
Well, Yes. I didn’t know the answer, because I knew what any of this has to do with me. Which fruit would you ban?
Hm. Spontaneously, the banana comes to mind. But I don’t even know why.
. Why should I ban the banana, which is also beautiful and tasty, the kids like it . . .
But you will be thrown in the worst moments in football stadiums. You probably came to me because of that.
Oh. Yeah, maybe that’s why.
How have you answered the question?
not at all. I’ve ignored it. I can’t answer.
so I ask you, also very original: What you wear for a watch?
A Swatch. I have, however, already for 20 years, and on the stage which works great. I’m not necessarily a watch freak. But since you are calling from Switzerland: I am, of course, otherwise it’s a Rolex. What else? (laughs)
I ask you the Yes with intention. Comedy has a lot to do with Timing. With regard to the precise time measurement, the better the Swiss than I do.
as far As I would go to say a Swiss. But Timing is, in fact, not necessarily a city in Asia. You must be able to. That’s true. I have the talent to be able to this very well. And I’m looking at every program of mine. This is the least of your colleagues. I record every Show and watch in the evening in the Hotel again and analyze you. Because maybe you have to change there something, or maybe I am in a given Moment, wrong. It comes to perfection. And since it’s also about Timing.
it’s Going to be a fraction of a second?
Absolutely. I must remember, when the audience is ready, so I can continue to talk about. Bad Timing would be if the audience has finished laughing and clapping, all of you are quiet again – and then I start again to talk. Then it gets boring.
you have to use again?
It is very important that you advance back inside.
If you look to the appearance of your own program, say, then: no. This is not good, I’ll take it out.
take Out I do nothing. I did that before, before people get to see the program at all. But I see that I make some things shorter, I switch. It may be that a number after a year on Tour longer, then it is possible that I take out, because otherwise the evening would take three hours. Here we are again at the Timing. People have learned for years: for 45 minutes and then a break. You know from the football.
Is it really so, that they run all the Shows again to mind?
Yes, since the age of 19. This is by no means abnormal. Where appropriate, we watch it with a, two members of the Crew on the Laptop. Then I back sometimes and say: “See, see! Because the people have not laughed so hard, because I turned to the left, and you could not see my facial Expressions.” So, we have revealed already a fault with the Camera.
Before you begin a stadium tour, so rehearsing everything meticulously?
I’m working with the stopwatch. I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years, and at some point, you have a certain amount of experience. If I einspreche a number without the applause and the laughs and five minutes need, then you end up with the beginning and the laughs and applause for six and a half minutes long. This is the classic.
The experience?
Yes. When I go into a TV show, and want a 8-minute number, then the after eight and a bit done.
If requested by the journalists, 7000 characters, then it provides pretty precise. It belongs, ultimately, to professionalism.
Exactly. You have to know what the beginning, middle, and end. If you like me. If you pick up a newspaper in the Hand, you are likely to see at a glance how many signs has an article.
what do you do when you write a Show? How much Material do you use?
I write about the Double.
do you still Have stage fright when you step on the stage?
Yes, but after all these years, I know how I have to deal with it. But it is so that every night is Special. And you never know how the audience is. Since it is excited.
it is possible that numbers that take in the North of Germany, six minutes, to be in the South?
In General, I have no Problem with North/South or East/West. I’m also with Switzerland, no Problem. Since there are already people who say, “my goodness, you are slowly”. I just think that the Swiss is a little more relaxed, calmer, more relaxed – but the know me. If you buy a ticket for my Show, you know who I am. I don’t go to an AC/DC concert and say afterwards: “That was very loud!” If you want quiet, then you must be in an a cappella concert.
Mario Barth may slowly and probably not at all.
Exactly. People want to see me, and not a slow Version.
If I buy a bulb, I want to Apple, Yes, no.
Correctly. But today is a weird Trend that everyone wants everything and wants to be able to. You have to be politically correct, socially critical, funny. If I am politically correct and socially critical, I’m not a comedian, but the news.
people expect Mario Barth and get Mario Barth.
exactly. When I go to the Italians, I don’t expect, is that the Sushi offering.
there Is a Comedian that you like to see where you are based?
Based, I’m not me. But I’m also a Consumer and an ordinary person. I like to watch funny stuff. In the case of the German Comedy, I find Dieter Nuhr very well, and Paul Panzer funny. I for example would go to the cabaret, I could go to Torsten Sträter.
As a viewer, one often has the impression that the Comedians act out of the Moment. This is orchestrated to the last Detail.
This has made Loriot. Or Jerry Lewis. That comes across as spontaneous and fun, only more professional, meticulous you are, the easier and effortless it looks. One should not take lightly. And the people go away not alone with this. Go to second. You have secured a Babysitter and took the Bus or the train to the stadium. Maybe you went to dinner first. They give the evening a lot of money. If I don’t give then 100 percent of everything, I find this unfair. And I think the people will remember.
Probably, Yes.
Therefore, the career of some artists take only two to three years. Two decades can only be achieved with good quality. People go to Mario Barth, Mario Barth’s to be expected. This is similar to the Rolex. You buy a Rolex, since you’re not thinking about whether the. Of course, is a Rolex. It is my ambition to listen to, as people say: “it was a great evening!” This is the Best thing that can happen to me.
Sometimes we journalists forget how much the precision of their craft requires. If this is missing, feel the people.
That’s what it is. It comes to the own claim. I think if you start that a somewhat matter – no matter what: care of the teeth, professional ethos, then this is the beginning of decay. I need to be able to say: If I do this, am I doing it right or not at all.
occurs on the 29. March in the stadium of Zurich. (editor-in-Tamedia)
