Biography

From Miesbach to Capetown - an almost normal Bavarian life story

It all began on a normal summer's day in 1956, when Joachim "Jockl" Bauer, the youngest of four children, was born into this world. One could also speak of a wonderful childhood in the rural idyll, if it had not been the (unfortunately) recurring story with beloved bunnies, who repeatedly broke from his life and eventually even had to end as a holiday roast.

At the age of six came the move to Bad Aibling and the associated painful separation from her friend of the same age ... and another bunny. But who believes that Jockl would have left the joy of life, which is mistaken. Eventually, he saw new opportunities opening up in the new city, and he became a ministrant and (one hears or read and be amazed) the youngest church choir member of all time. He managed all this without being able to read a single note - respect!

After the "Finsterwalder Gymnasium" in Rosenheim and the Fachabitur (social work) then came the "time of dream jobs". Joachim made a pretty good figure there as a tennis teacher, assistant cook, bartender and even tutor.

Nevertheless, there was always this suppressed desire and the urge to become actors in Munich and, of course, the big wide world. After many jobs and aberrations, this eventually became so big that he unceremoniously grabbed his belongings to make representations in Munich to Ms. Zinner, the headmistress of a drama school. This took him actually and henceforth, the boy from Miesbach actor (the requirement that he should please learn German, is omitted at this point to maintain the good image of this success story). Already in the first semester, the youngster with the graduating class auditioned for the role of "Sosias" (in High German!), He was so talented.

When one day he traveled to the Landestheater Schwaben in Memmingen as a cue giver of a colleague and was immediately hired off the stage (the colleague unfortunately not, which is why the jockl still has slight remorse), this thing was perfect and the youngest church choir member of all times had fulfilled his dream - he was an actor and all bunnies would have been proud of him. In Memmingen he played many great roles for three years and spent a wonderful time in Swabia. Nevertheless, he returned to Munich and lives, suffers, laughs, dances and plays since then as a freelance actor.
