The comedian, author and podcast moderator Felix Lobrecht wants to withdraw from the public – at least for a year. The 34-year-old surprisingly announced this in the latest edition of his "Gemischtes Hack" podcast, which he moderated together with Tommi Schmitt.

"I've worked my way to death. I've been sick for five months. I'm in the clinic here, I'm screwed," Lobrecht said in it and reiterated several times: "I can't do it anymore, I'm broken."

He will still complete his "All You Can Eat" tour and then take a break of at least a year from September, Lobrecht continued. Among other things, he wanted to "finally look at the world". Podcast partner Schmitt supported the decision. However, he can also hope that the successful format will continue during the public break. "Yes, podcast because of me," said Lobrecht.

The Berliner first gained national fame through participation in poetry slams, followed by appearances as a stand-up comedian and in various television shows. In September 2017 he started the podcast "Gemischtes Hack" together with Tommi Schmitt. In the same year his novel "Sonne und Beton" by the comedian was published, which was recently made into a film.

In the stern interview, Lobrecht recently said that the ADHD diagnosis had changed his view of his life: "I now understand better why I found some things so difficult. Then this urge to move, often these problems with adjustment and authority, sometimes difficulties with myself focus - especially on things I didn't like." He also spoke about the downsides of his fame: "The way up is very consuming. This means that you can't deal with yourself. At some point it catches up to you." And he expressed the wish "to be able to take more breaks".
