He is one of the most well-known cabaret artists and comedians in Austria, not least due to his commitment to numerous Austrian film productions. After initial success with the group ''Schlabarett'' he attained more widespread recognition as the writer and star (alongside Josef Hader) of the film ''Indien''. Today, Dorfer is among "the most important satirists and authors in the German-speaking world."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Alfred Dorfer {{!}} Veranstaltungen {{!}} TAK Theater Liechtenstein |url=https://www.tak.li/veranstaltungen/alfred-dorfer-1/1083 |access-date=2024-10-27 |website=www.tak.li}}</ref>
