Biography

Martin Schneider grew up in Burgholzhausen, a district of Friedrichsdorf.

Today he lives in Marburg. At first he did an internship at the Hessischer Rundfunk. That's where he tried himself in cabaret. 1990 he got his first stage job. His first programme was "Gell, Sie sind spirituell?" (You're spiritual, aren't you?). Since 1992 he appeared in Quatsch Comedy Club, which was still a theater in Hamburg at that time. Later he appeared in several TV shows like RTL Samstag Nacht and had guest appearances in 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe (7 days, 7 heads) and Genial daneben (Ingeniously Off The Mark). He was cast member of Comedy Factory (1996/97) on ProSieben. Since 2004 Martin Schneider is best friends with Cordula Stratmann in Sat.1's improvisational comedy show Schillerstraße. Additionally he played the dwarf "Speedy" in the October 2004 big screen movie 7 Zwerge - Männer allein im Wald (7 Dwarves - Men Alone In The Woods) by Otto Waalkes alongside Otto Waalkes, Markus Majowski, Boris Aljinovic, Heinz Hoenig, Ralf Schmitz and Mirco Nontschew. The sequel "7 Zwerge - Der Wald ist nicht genug (7 Dwarves - The Woods Are Not Enough)" was released in October 2006.

He is best known for his Hessian dialect. "Aschebeschär" ("Aschenbecher" in Standard German, ashtray in English) has become a dictum by Schneider. His characteristics are his especially distinctive face and his big mouth.

The land of the queen is divided in two parts. At one side, there is a residential area which is overwhelmed by the mighty castle. On the other side is a dark forest named Unterwaldt. Both parts are only connected with a little bridge over the river. One day Little Red Riding Hood is picking flowers at the border of the residential area. She sees a beautiful flower across the bridge and decides to enter Unterwaldt. The forest takes Little Red Riding Hood in its power and the girl forgets time. She decides to swim in the river, but suddenly a shark-fin appears. However, it is the hat of dwarf Bubi who spies on the woman. Bubi is attacked by a bear. A scared Little Red Riding Hood runs further into the forest. The bear takes Bubi to the cottage of the dwarves. It is revealed the bear is the disguised dwarf Tschakko. As Bubi looked at a woman, which is forbidden by the dwarves, he is punished. Squirrels tickle his feet until Bubi can't stop laughing.
