Luis from South Tyrol "The Great Pfiati Tour"
After more than two decades on the cabaret and small arts stages, Luis from South Tyrol alias Manfred Zöschg bids farewell to his audience with one last major tour.
The “Pfiati” tour marks the end of a unique stage career – and also offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the beloved South Tyrolean cabaret artist live one last time. Included are: new routines, tried-and-true classics, and plenty of stories from real life – funny, touching, and typically 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’ does not simply 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 circumstances have simply become too burdensome 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 great view.” And: it is also a thank you. To all who accompanied him, understood him, laughed, and listened.
The Book
The farewell tour is accompanied by the publication of his first book, which will be released in autumn 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 him: a golden bar, secretly buried in the garden, caused childish euphoria, neighborhood gossip – and still provides fodder for conversation in the village to this day. Besides humorous memories, the book also speaks about special challenges – like 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 only 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 take the opportunity. There will be no encore.
