Education
Education
Many people predicted he would become a priest, but he prefers to pray from the Kabarett stage. Between 1975 and 1982, he studied German, political science, and philosophy at LMU Munich. After several years, he began to study theatre.
Career
Career
In 1975, Jonas played with Sigi Zimmerschied in the Kabarett Scharfrichterhaus. After an engagement as a writer and actor at the National Theatre in Munich, he started his first solo program in 1979. He reached Germany through his first own radio show Jonas and regular appearances with Dieter Hildebrandt as a member of the Kabarett theatre Münchner Lach- und Schießgesellschaft and later until today in the political Kabarett TV series Scheibenwischer (together with Mathias Richling). He also appeared as monk Bruder Barnabas at "Starkbieranstich" on the "Nockherberg" in Munich, a traditional ceremony usually in March, in which Bruder Barnabas gives a ticking-off to the present high-ranked politicians. In 2004, he started to work as a director at Theater am Gärtnerplatz where he also directed the Musical Man of La Mancha and played the part of Don Quichotte.
