Olaf Schubert and his friends ask the big questions

29/09/2026 written by Sophie

Olaf Schubert and his friends are coming to Switzerland with their show «Jetzt oder now!» Together with his longtime stage partners Jochen M. Barkas and Herr Stephan, Olaf Schubert promises an evening full of humor, mind games, and musical interludes.

Three friends, lots of questions, and plenty of offbeat thoughts: Olaf Schubert takes the stage alongside Jochen M. Barkas and Herr Stephan. In «Jetzt oder now!», the comedian tackles life’s big and small questions, often turning things on their head. Instead of just providing answers, Schubert asks the questions himself this time, weaving them into an evening full of surprising twists, wordplay, and his very own brand of humor.

Jetzt oder now?

By now, everyone should know that Olaf Schubert has an answer for every question. But now he’s turning the tables and asking the questions himself. One of them gives the show its name: «Jetzt oder now?», and this question alone raises even more questions.

Schubert takes his audience on a journey through unusual trains of thought, surprising twists, and absurd musings. Along the way, he constantly reinvents himself, yet remains compelling through his approachability. His new show combines his unmistakable humor with clever wordplay and the ability to turn seemingly mundane questions into a whole tower of questions.

With his friends on stage

Olaf Schubert isn’t alone in this endeavor. Jochen M. Barkas and Herr Stephan, two longtime friends, join him on stage. Jochen M. Barkas accompanies Schubert’s show on guitar. Herr Stephan has also been one of his loyal stage companions for many years and accompanies Schubert on bass, trumpet, and vocals, among other instruments. Together, the trio brings an unforgettable show to the stage, consisting of a mix of comedy, music, and offbeat thoughts. There’s plenty of room for Olaf Schubert’s signature style of taking everyday topics, looking at them from a completely new perspective, and surprising the audience time and time again.

Olaf Schubert and His Friends in Switzerland

With «Jetzt oder now!», Olaf Schubert and his friends can also be seen in Switzerland. They will perform on May 13, 2028, in Bern and on September 15, 2028, in Winterthur.

Anyone who opens themselves up to Olaf Schubert’s unconventional train of thought can expect an evening where not every question will be answered. Instead, there’s plenty of wordplay, music, food for thought, and that very special Olaf Schubert humor.
