Life

Zarli Carigiet was a son of the farmer Alois Carigiet and Barbara Antonia Lombriser. After his apprenticeship as a decorative painter, he followed his brother Alois Carigiet to Zurich and became his assistant. He made his first experiences on the amateur stage in 1927. Between 1934 and 1947 he worked at Cabaret Cornichon , from 1949 at Cabaret Fédéral and from 1955 as a one-man stage. In 1959, in the play Eusi chliini Stadt , he sang the song Miis Dach isch dr Himmel vo Züri for the first time , which became an evergreen in German-speaking Switzerland. A long-playing record with his most popular songs and lyrics was made in 1975 by the Trio Eugsterproduced. Through his successful stage work he was also discovered for radio.

He had his first small film role in 1924 in the silent film The Origin of the Confederation . From 1935 on he played regularly in Swiss dialect films.

He played his third and last leading role in Es Dach überem Chopf , the film adaptation of the successful radio play of the same name from 1960, in which he also played the leading role. Due to a lack of offers, he withdrew more and more after 1962. Some popular television appearances were the exception.
