Comedian Barth makes big-screen debut
Multiple award-winning German comedian Mario Barth (35), whose shows and television programmes draw millions of viewers, is making his big-screen debut. He is currently shooting the film Männersache in Berlin.
Before the camera of DoP-turned-director Gernot Roll (The Robber Hotzenplotz [+see also:

film profile]), Barth is starring alongside fellow comedian Dieter Tappert (also 35 and better known by his stage name Paul Panzer) in a film they co-wrote. Paul (Barth) works in a zoo by day and is a comedian by night, but an unsuccessful one, until he decides to steal the jokes of his friend Hotte (Tappert) and his girlfriend Susi (Anja Kling). These gags delight audiences but should the hero’s career come before friendship?
Männersache’s cast also includes several German stars: Jürgen Vogel, Leander Haußmann and the rap artist Sido.
The comedy – which is shaping up to be a success – is produced by Oliver Berben (who produced The Elementary Particles [+see also:
