Luis from South Tyrol – "Pfiati" Tour: The Last Applause
After more than two decades on cabaret and variety stages, Luis from South Tyrol, alias Manfred Zöschg, says goodbye to his audience with one last grand tour. The "Pfiati" tour marks the conclusion of a unique stage career – and offers a final opportunity to experience the beloved South Tyrolean cabaret artist live one last time. Included in the repertoire: new acts, tried-and-true classics, and plenty of stories from real life – humorous, 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 lies ahead. 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' doesn't just mean 'goodbye' to me, but 'take care of yourself.' And I say that from the bottom of my heart." He still feels comfortable on stage – but the surrounding aspects have simply become too cumbersome at 67. So: better to stop while it's still fun. The last tour is "like a mountain run without training – exhausting, but with a view." And: it is also a thank you. To everyone who has accompanied him, understood him, laughed with him, and listened to him.
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. The story of the legendary "Gold Find" has become particularly dear to his heart: a gilded metal bar, secretly buried in the garden, caused childlike excitement, neighborhood rumors – and even today provides conversation material in the village. In addition to humorous memories, the book also talks about special challenges – such as his appearance 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.
Luis from South Tyrol says: Pfiati. And thank you.
