Rolf Schmid - I mag eifach nüma

Description

When Rolf Schmid steps onto the stage, no eye remains dry – and 2026 will be the last year that the comedy veteran tours Switzerland with his new program «I mag eifach nüma!» and performs at the Festhalle Willisau on Wednesday, November 25. After over three decades full of punchlines, shows, and as a crowd favorite, the Bündner entertainer and comedian says: «It's just too funny – at least on stage.» People understand him well: he is 66 years old, and has been on stage for 33 years. Rolf Schmid became nationally known in the 1990s as the face and advertising ambassador of Rhäzünser mineral water. This was followed by numerous tours and appearances in popular TV shows such as Benissimo, Rondo Mondo, Arosa Humor Festival, or Giacobbo/Müller. «I mag eifach nid!» is cult.
With a total of 12 solo programs, he repeatedly made the audience laugh – and received not only countless «Standing Ovations», which he liked to counter with a «Sit down, I’m still here», but also awards like the renowned Prix Walo and various comedy awards. With his legendary number «I mag eifach nid!» he finally achieved cult status. «It already makes me a bit proud that this line is still passed on across generations today and also stands for joy of life,» says a happy Rolf Schmid. Rolf in private – almost as funny as on stage.
Off the spotlight, Schmid has remained a family man. Between performances, tours, and rehearsals, he always managed to be there for his loved ones – and never neglected cooking his legendary «Schmid’schen Älplermagronen». Whether as a father, friend, or host: his down-to-earthness is as unmistakable as his humor. «So far, I’ve been able to do what brings me joy. I am very grateful for that,» says Rolf Schmid. A funny book as a bestseller.
In 2023, Rolf Schmid will publish the book «I mag einfach nid». This is a book that comedian Rolf Schmid and his writer Hardy Hemmi originally never wanted. They just wanted to jot down a few anecdotes from the almost completely normal life of the trained baker-confectioner and later comedian Rolf Schmid and somehow stage these biographical episodes on stage someday, somehow, somewhere. Overnight, the whole project took on a life of its own and gained momentum like a rushing Bündner mountain stream after a thunderstorm. And then it started: And the almost completely normal life of Rolf Schmid often appears miles away from any norm in retrospect. And much that seems hilarious and funny from today’s perspective was 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 fulfills his and his audience’s last big dream: to tour the country once more, to give everything one last time, to make people laugh one last time. «After that, I look forward to having more time with my family, in nature, and for cooking,» says Rolf Schmid. «I mag einfach nüma!» is his closing point. An entertaining mix of reflection, preview, and chaos. So Rolf Schmid as you know or knew him. Rolf Schmid: «It’s an honor for me to once again really stretch the muscles of my loyal audience’s laughter.»
