Schyffert Forever

Schyffert Forever
 

After a five-year hiatus, Henrik Schyffert returned to the standup scene in 2024 with his new tour Schyffert Forever. It was a edgy comeback to stand-up's original form, sprung from the same desire that once upon a time made Henrik take the first steps onto the stages of comedy clubs. Dagens Nyheter wrote international top class, Gefle Dagblad said that the audience (has) never been allowed to get this close to Henrik Schyffert and UNT described Henrik as absolutely brilliant and gave a 5/5 rating. The public success is now being extended with a spring tour in 2025. On April 12, Henrik will come to Acusticum in Piteå!
 

Somewhat unexpectedly, you can say that the new standup tour Schyffert Forever is coming off thanks to Iggy Pop.
 

- I hadn't done standup for five years and sat on the train listening to old Iggy Pop - Lust for Life, 1969, The Passenger. Then it struck me that this is how you can also do standup. Just fun and happy and simple. So it will be old school this time! says Henrik Schyffert.
 

In Schyffert Forever, Henrik tries to figure out why he's so jealous of Bianca Ingrosso, hates first-time parents, and how he became a citizen when he realized you can get ALL the ice cream by yourself! And then there are jokes about, among other things, top hats, Bakelite speakers, girl text messages and the art of lying like a Vassalope skier.
 

- It's hard to make a simple joke and the simpler the joke, the harder it is, believe it or not. But the kick when you manage to come up with a simple joke that makes the whole room laugh in unison is priceless. And I've really missed trying to get it done again, says Henrik.
 

 

Schyffert Forever premiered on January 13, 2024 at the Gävle Concert Hall and has been played in over 40 different cities around Sweden and the neighboring countries of Finland and Norway. In the spring of 2025, the tour will be extended with cities such as Falkenberg, Bollnäs and Visby.
