Schyffert Forever
About the show
NOTE! The performance will be filmed!
After a five-year break, Henrik Schyffert returned to the stand-up stage in 2024 with his new tour “Schyffert Forever”. It was a thrilling comeback to the pure form of stand-up, born from the same desire that once led Henrik to take his first steps onto the comedy club stages. Dagens Nyheter wrote “holds international top class”, Gefle Dagblad stated that “the audience (has) never gotten this close to Henrik Schyffert” and UNT described Henrik as “absolutely brilliant” and gave a rating of 5/5. The audience success was extended with a spring tour in 2025 and the tour concludes on April 26 at Cirkus in Stockholm!
A bit unexpectedly, one could say that the new stand-up tour “Schyffert Forever” is happening thanks to Iggy Pop.
– I hadn't done stand-up for five years and was sitting on the train listening to old Iggy Pop – “Lust for Life”, “1969”, “The Passenger”. Then it struck me that this is also how you can do stand-up. Just fun and happy and simple. So it's old school this time! says Henrik Schyffert.
In “Schyffert Forever”, Henrik tries to figure out why he is so jealous of Bianca Ingrosso, hates first-time parents, and how he became a conservative when he realized that you can have ALL the ice cream yourself! And there will be jokes about, among other things, top hats, bakelite speakers, girl-texts, and the art of lying like a Vasaloppet skier.
– It's hard to craft a simple joke and the simpler the joke, the harder it is, believe it or not. But the thrill when you manage to create a simple joke that makes the whole room burst into laughter is priceless. And I've really missed trying to achieve that again, says Henrik.
“Schyffert Forever” premiered on January 13, 2024, at Gävle Concert Hall and has been performed in over 40 different cities across Sweden and neighboring countries Finland and Norway. In spring 2025, the tour is extended with cities such as Falkenberg, Bollnäs, and Visby.
