After a five-year break from the stand-up scene, Henrik Schyffert returns in 2024 with a new tour - "Schyffert Forever". It's 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.
A little unexpectedly, you can say that the new standup tour "Schyffert Forever" is happening 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 and continues:
- I thought I'd try to figure out why I'm so jealous of Bianca, hate first-time parents and how I became a citizen when I realized that you can get ALL the ice cream 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. Welcome!
