Rolf Schmid says, "That's it, I'm done!" "I just don't feel like it anymore" — Rolf Schmid's Grand Farewell Tour 2026.

When Rolf Schmid takes the stage, there isn’t a dry eye in the house—and 2026 will be the last year this comedy veteran tours Switzerland with his new show, “I mag eifach nüma!” After more than three decades of punchlines, shows, and being a crowd favorite, the Graubünden-based entertainer and comedian says, “It’s been a blast—at least on stage.” Tickets for the farewell tour are now available at www.ticketcorner.ch.

It’s easy to understand why: he’s 66 years old and has been on stage for 33 years. Rolf Schmid became known throughout Switzerland in the 1990s as the face and advertising ambassador for Rhäzünser mineral water. This was followed by numerous tours and appearances on popular TV shows such as Benissimo, Rondo Mondo, the Arosa Humor Festival, and Giacobbo/Müller.

“I just don’t like it!” is a cult classic
With a total of 12 solo shows, he made audiences laugh time and time again—and in return received not only countless “standing ovations,” which he liked to acknowledge with a “Sit down, I’m still here,” but also received accolades such as the prestigious Prix Walo and various comedy awards. With his legendary routine “I mag eifach nid!”, he ultimately achieved cult status. “It does fill me with a certain pride that this line is still passed down across generations today and has come to symbolize a zest for life,” says a happy Rolf Schmid.

Rolf in private—almost as funny as on stage
Away from the spotlight, Schmid has remained a family man. Between performances, tours, and rehearsals, he’s always managed to be there for his loved ones—and has never neglected to cook his legendary “Schmid’s Älplermagronen.” Whether as a father, friend, or host, his down-to-earth nature is as unmistakable as his humor. “So far, I’ve been able to do what brings me joy. I’m very grateful for that,” says Rolf Schmid.

A Funny Best-Selling Book
In 2023, Rolf Schmid published the book “I mag einfach nid.” This is a book that comedian Rolf Schmid and his writer Hardy Hemmi originally never even wanted to write. They wanted nothing more than to jot down a few anecdotes from the almost entirely normal life of Rolf Schmid—a trained baker and pastry chef who later became a comedian—and to bring these biographical episodes to life on stage someday, somehow, somewhere. Overnight, the entire project took on a life of its own and gained momentum, like a raging Grisons mountain stream after a thunderstorm. And then it began: Viewed in hindsight, Rolf Schmid’s almost entirely normal life often turns out to be miles away from any norm. And much of what seems hilarious—even funny—from today’s perspective was often anything but at the time. The humorous book becomes a bestseller.

The Final Tour—A Farewell with Tears of Laughter
With his farewell tour in 2026, Rolf Schmid is fulfilling his and his audience’s last big dream: to travel across the country one last time, to give it his all one last time, to make people laugh one last time. “After that, I’m looking forward to having more time with my family, in nature, and for cooking,” says Rolf Schmid. “I mag einfach nüma!” is his finale. An entertaining mix of retrospectives, previews, and chaos. In other words, Rolf Schmid as we know him—or rather, as we knew him. Rolf Schmid: “It’s an honor for me to really give my loyal audience a good laugh one last time.”
