The “Pfiati” tour marks the end of a unique stage career – and at the same time offers a unique opportunity to experience the beloved South Tyrolean cabaret artist live one last time. Included: new numbers, tried-and-true classics, and plenty of stories from real life – funny, touching, and typical Luis. The audience can look forward to a very personal program that includes reflections on his greatest moments as well as glimpses into what is to come. An evening full of laughter, nostalgia, and surprises – perhaps even for Luis himself.
The Farewell
“I owe everything to my audience – really everything,” says Manfred Zöschg. “'Pfiati' for me doesn’t just mean ‘goodbye’, but ‘take care of yourself’. And I say that from the bottom of my heart.” He still feels comfortable on stage – but the surrounding circumstances have simply become too exhausting at 67. So: better to stop while it’s still fun. The last tour is “like a mountain run without training – demanding, but with a view.” And: it is also a thank you. To everyone who accompanied him, understood him, laughed, and listened.
The Book
The farewell tour is accompanied by the release of his first book, which will be published in fall 2025 by Raetia Verlag. It offers deep insights into Luis’s private life – with childhood memories, anecdotes, pranks, and of course, a lot of humor. He is particularly fond of the story of the legendary “gold find”: a gilded lead bar, secretly buried in the garden, caused childlike euphoria, neighborhood rumors – and to this day serves as conversation material in the village. In addition to humorous memories, the book also tells of special challenges – such as his performance in New York, where Luis presented parts of his program in English – “without much pressure, but with a lot of heart”.
The “Pfiati” Tour is not just the end of an era – it is a celebration for all who have laughed, thought, and lived with Luis. Anyone who wants to experience him live one more time should seize the opportunity. There will be no encore.
