"Pfiati" Tour: The Last Applause
After more than two decades on the cabaret and variety stages, Luis from South Tyrol, also known as Manfred Zöschg, bids farewell to his audience with one last grand tour. The "Pfiati" tour marks the conclusion of a unique stage career and offers a rare opportunity to experience the beloved South Tyrolean cabaret artist live one last time. Included are new acts, well-known classics, and plenty of stories from real life—humorous, 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 lies ahead. An evening full of laughter, nostalgia, and surprises—perhaps even for Luis himself.
The Farewell
"I owe everything to my audience—truly 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 at 67, the surrounding aspects have simply become too burdensome. So, he prefers 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 will be accompanied by the release of his first book, which will be published in autumn 2025 by Raetia Verlag. It offers deep insights into Luis's private life—with childhood memories, anecdotes, pranks, and of course, plenty of humor. He is particularly fond of the story of the legendary "gold find": a gold-plated lead bar, secretly buried in the garden, sparked childlike euphoria, neighborhood rumors—and still provides conversation fodder in the village today. In addition to humorous memories, the book also recounts 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.
Luis from South Tyrol says: Pfiati. And thank you.
