The date

Davide de Pierro built a following of more than six million on TikTok and Instagram telling stories as the self-described Half Italian, Half Jersey Boy, and his live show at the Rio leans into exactly that: a monologue, readings from his new novel The Letters I Never Sent, then questions from the audience. Sunday sold out fast enough that the Rio added this Monday night. It is a good Monday date because the show does the talking and leaves you plenty to pick apart after. Eat first at Harambe on Commercial Drive, a four-minute walk, then grab a drink at the Rio's bar before the show. Doors 6pm, show 7pm, 19+. Balcony is $45.75, main floor $55.75, platinum $85.75, all plus service charge.

How to do it

Book the Monday show through the Rio's ticket site; balcony $45.75, main floor $55.75, plus service charge. Have dinner at Harambe on Commercial Drive at 5:15pm, walk four minutes to the Rio for doors at 6pm, and get a drink at the bar before the 7pm start. Bring ID, the show is 19+.

What to wear: casual is fine
