Career

In his own words, Bruno Jonas grew up “bilingual”, as his father, as an East Prussian expellee, and his Lower Bavarian mother shaped the colloquial language at home, which often prompted his classmates to say “Now he praises again”. His parents ran a butcher's shop in Passau, where Bruno Jonas occasionally helped out in the slaughterhouse, sausage-making and sales department as a child and adolescent. He attended the Adalbert Stifter Gymnasium in Passau . During his high school days, he often worked in the production of the local Peschl brewery at all assembly line production stations to finance vacation trips (e.g. for InterRail tickets). After his community service he studied German, political science and philosophy, later theater studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .

Together they performed the play Heavenly Conference . In it, the Archangel Michael (Zimmigart) calls a conference. Participants are the canned Jesus (Jonas), the drunk Holy Spirit, the God the Father with gout and the pregnant Mary. The theme of the gathering was how to explain to people the new pregnancy of Mary. The piece of scandal brought the authors a charge of "blasphemy", which was discontinued six months later. In 1979 he wrote his first solo program Zur Klage der Nation . From 1981 to 1984 he was an author and actor in the ensemble of the Munich Laughing and Shooting Society .

The smart shit
