Rolf Schmid says it's done!
"I mag eifach nüma" - Rolf Schmid's big farewell tour in 2026.
When Rolf Schmid takes to the stage, there's not a dry eye in the house - and 2026 will be the last year in which the comedy veteran will be touring Switzerland with his new program "I mag eifach nüma!". After more than three decades full of punchlines, programs and as an audience favorite, the Graubünden entertainer and comedian says: "It's done - at least on stage." Tickets for the farewell tour are now available at www.ticketcorner.ch.
He is well understood: he has 66 years under his belt and has been on stage for 33 years. Rolf Schmid became famous throughout Switzerland in the 1990s as the face and advertising ambassador of Rhäzünser mineral water. This was followed by numerous tours and appearances on popular TV shows such as Benissimo, Rondo Mondo, Arosa Humor Festival and Giacobbo/Müller.
"I mag eifach nid!" is cult
With a total of 12 solo programs, he made audiences laugh again and again - and not only received countless standing ovations, which he liked to counter with "Sit down, I'm still here", but also awards such as the prestigious Prix Walo and various comedy awards. With his legendary number "I mag eifach nid!" he finally achieved cult status. "It fills me with pride that this line is still being passed down through the generations and also stands for joie de vivre," says a happy Rolf Schmid.
Rolf in private - almost as funny as on stage
Away from the limelight, Schmid has remained a family man. Between performances, tours and rehearsals, he has always managed to be there for his loved ones - and has never neglected cooking his legendary "Schmid'schen Älplermagronen". Whether as a father, friend or host, his down-to-earth attitude is as unmistakable as his sense of humor. "I have always been able to do what I enjoy. I'm very grateful for that," says Rolf Schmid.
A funny book as a bestseller
In 2023, Rolf Schmid published the book "I mag einfach nid". This is a book that comedian Rolf Schmid and his lyricist Hardy Hemmi never originally wanted. They wanted nothing more than to write down a few anecdotes from the almost completely normal life of the trained baker-pastry chef and later comedian Rolf Schmid and to stage these biographical episodes sometime, somehow and somewhere. Overnight, the whole project took on a life of its own and gained momentum, like a raging mountain stream in Graubünden after a thunderstorm. And then it started: and Rolf Schmid's almost completely normal life often turns out to be miles away from the norm when viewed in the rear-view mirror. And many things that seem hilarious, even funny, from today's distance were often anything but back then. The funny book becomes a bestseller.
The last tour - a farewell with tears of laughter
With his farewell tour in 2026, Rolf Schmid is fulfilling his last big dream for himself and his audience: to tour the country one more time, give it his all, make people laugh one more time. "After that, I'm looking forward to spending more time with my family, in nature and cooking," says Rolf Schmid. "I just like nüma" is his final point. An entertaining mixture of looking back, looking ahead and chaos. In other words, Rolf Schmid as you know or knew him. Rolf Schmid: "It's an honor for me to give my loyal audience another Rolf Schmid says it's done!
