Outsider is a single date, part of the series of shows and stand-up that the de' Servi offers alongside the comedies of the 2026/2027 season. Baz comes to Rome with a show that mixes stand-up, songs and storytelling, about the figure of the one nobody expects to win. In our opinion it's the right evening for those who know Baz from television and want to discover the more personal side of a comedian who has done radio, books, musicals and cabaret without ever feeling entirely at home in any of these worlds.

Outsider by Baz: what the show is about

Outsider is a one-man show by Baz about feeling out of place: the official presentation from Teatro de' Servi describes it as an explosion of energy in which you laugh, sing and maybe get a little emotional.

Who an outsider is

The presentation starts from a definition: an outsider is the one nobody expects to win the marathon. Baz, whom the presentation calls the eternal kid of show business, knows this well. He has done everything, radio, books, stand-up comedy, musicals, and yet in every field he continues to be considered an outsider.

Curse or superpower

Maybe it's a curse, maybe a superpower, maybe simply an allergy to labels: the text plays with these three hypotheses without choosing one. In this new show Baz takes the audience into his universe of out-of-place people, where feeling inadequate is the norm and also becomes a chance to wrong-foot the world.

The targets

The presentation announces cutting irony on three themes: ignorance, racism and what it calls the empire of social media. The show promises to demolish clichés like a child with a sandcastle, and to make us laugh at our miseries, our lies and the absurd conventions that keep us prisoner.

Who it's designed for

The theater's text says it clearly: Outsider is a show for those who have always preferred to stay on the sidelines, for those who have never understood the rules of the game and for those who have always suspected the game was rigged. It's an invitation to a broad audience, from 30-somethings who grew up with Colorado to those who listen to Baz on the radio.

You laugh, you sing: Baz's formula in the theater

Baz's show holds monologue and music together: the official presentation promises that in Outsider you laugh and you sing, and the artist's career explains why.

The voice as an instrument

Baz is a comedian who really sings. To improve his vocal skills he moved to Los Angeles for a while, where he studied with Seth Riggs, the singing teacher known for the speech level singing method and for having worked with Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and Madonna. In the theater this training shows: the sung parts aren't an interlude, but part of the story.

Impressionist and character actor

In his live shows Baz has always performed as a monologuist, impressionist, character actor and singer. It's a physical and vocal comedy, built on rapid changes of register, which in an intimate hall like the de' Servi comes across with all its energy.

From cabaret to stand-up

Artistically, Baz was born in Milan's cabarets, a world of characters and catchphrases, and over the years he moved toward stand-up, made of first-person storytelling. Outsider seems to sit halfway: a one-man show in which the artist talks about himself, but with the tools of the showman, voice, impressions and songs.

Who Baz is, Marco Bazzoni: the biography

Marco Bazzoni, known as Baz, was born in Sassari on January 16, 1979, and is a comedian, stage actor, radio host and singer. He became popular from 2007 with the Italia 1 program Colorado.

From Sassari to Milan

After studying in Sassari and graduating from a science high school, in 1999 he started working as a resort entertainer. After three years he moved to Milan, where he attended acting, improvisation and singing schools, and grew artistically by performing in the city's cabarets.

The early awards

In the mid-2000s Baz won many of the competitions of Italian comedy: first prize at the Martina Franca cabaret festival in 2005, the Premio Ettore Petrolini at BravoGrazie in 2006 and, in the same year, the Premio Walter Chiari at Sarchiapone as comedy revelation of the year. In 2004 he had come first at Odeon TV's Accademia italiana del comico, and in 2005 he had also won Ciak si ride and Locomix.

Colorado and television

In 2007 he joined the regular cast of Colorado, on Italia 1, with the character of the media player Baz, with the singer Gianni Cyano and with monologues of social satire. He stayed on the program until 2015. Over the years he took part in Antonio Ricci's Giass, Quelli che il calcio, Maurizio Costanzo Show, Buona Domenica, Scherzi a parte, Made in Sud and, in 2025 and 2026, Only Fun, Comico Show on Nove.

Radio

Radio is the other half of his career. From 2005 to 2014 he was in the cast of Ottovolante on Radio2, and since September 2018 he has hosted Tutti pazzi per RDS on RDS, together with Rossella Brescia and Giacomo Ciccio Valenti.

Books, records and musicals

In 2011 Mondadori published his first novel, School of Baz. In 2021 came Con le infradito in discesa, written with Matteo Monforte, partly autobiographical. In 2013 Sony Music distributed Un album del Canto, the album of the character Gianni Cyano. He has acted in the musical Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie and as Adam in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, alongside Diana Del Bufalo. In May 2016 he performed at the Hollywood Comedy Store in Los Angeles.

Baz's shows, from Uomini contro donne to Outsider

Outsider, from 2026, is the latest in a series of stage shows Baz has been putting on since 2002.

The beginnings

The first title is Uomini contro donne, from 2002, followed by Marco da legare in 2004 and Tv sorrisi e Bazzoni in 2007, the year he joined Colorado. These are the shows in which Baz fine-tuned his formula of monologues, characters and songs.

The years of popularity

BAZ Live 2009 and Come sono caduto in BAZ!, from 2010, accompanied the years of greatest TV exposure. In 2011 came the musical Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie, in 2012 REVOLUTIONS, in 2015 Il ritorno.

La verità rende single and Outsider

In 2017 La verità rende single, also written with Andrea Midena, marked the shift to a more personal comedy. Outsider, in 2026, continues in this direction: an account of himself as eternally out of place, with music accompanying the words.

Teatro de' Servi: the history of a hall in the Trevi district

Teatro de' Servi was built in 1950 in the vegetable garden and garden of the convent next to the parish of Santa Maria in Via, facing Via del Tritone, and was inaugurated on April 26, 1957, by Eduardo De Filippo's company.

Eduardo and the censorship

The opening night was the world premiere of De Pretore Vincenzo, directed by Eduardo, with sets by Titina De Filippo, music by Renzo Rossellini, and lead performers Achille Millo and Valeria Moricone, in her debut. According to the history published by the theater, the Vicariate imposed censorship immediately and the hall remained closed for a few months.

The golden years and the closures

Until the end of the 1970s the de' Servi hosted Italian and foreign companies, concerts and chamber opera. In the 1980s, with the new safety regulations, it closed at the end of the 1983 season, reopened in 1984 with 252 seats, closed again in 1988 and resumed activity at the beginning of 1990.

Comedies and comedy

Since July 2002 it has been run by the company La Bilancia, which has made it a home of contemporary Italian comedy. Alongside the drama, the 2026/2027 season offers a series of shows and stand-up: Claudio Lauretta with Imitamorfosi on October 20, Velia Lalli on November 10, Baz on the 11th, then Dikele in December and other comedians until May.

The season's comedies

On the drama side, the program opened with Se ti sposo mi rovino and continued with Due cuori in chat. Those who discover the hall with Baz have a whole season of comedies and comedy nights ahead of them.

Tickets and times for Baz at Teatro de' Servi

Outsider starts at 21:00 on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Tickets can be bought online from the show page on Teatro de' Servi's official website or at the theater box office.

Box office hours

The box office at Via del Mortaro 22 is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 to 20:00 and Sunday from 15:00 to 18:00. It's closed on Mondays. For information, call 06 6795130.

Prices and discounts

Prices are given on the theater's official website and on the linked purchase page. The de' Servi also offers subscription packages and a 20 percent discount for those who sign up for its newsletter.

Just one date

Outsider is on for one night only. Wednesday is a quiet evening in the historic center, and finding a table for dinner before or after the show is easier than on the weekend.

How to get to Teatro de' Servi for Outsider

Teatro de' Servi is at Via del Mortaro 22, on the corner of Via del Tritone, inside the ZTL of the historic center. The simplest solution is metro line A to the Barberini stop.

By metro A

From Piazza Barberini walk down Via del Tritone to the intersection with Via del Mortaro: in a straight line it's about 570 meters, a few minutes downhill on the way there and a short climb on the way back.

By bus

Many surface lines run along Via del Tritone. To choose the right one from your starting point, and to check the evening runs, the ATAC journey planner is the most reliable tool.

By car

The theater is inside the ZTL: check the hours of the access gates before setting off. The theater's website points to Parcheggio Colonna, at Via di Santa Maria in Via 11/13, very close to the hall.

On foot

From Piazza di Spagna the straight-line distance is about 450 meters, from the Pantheon about 550. If you're staying in the center, the walk is part of the evening.

What to see around Teatro de' Servi

Teatro de' Servi is surrounded by some of Rome's best-known places: the Trevi Fountain about 110 meters away, Galleria Alberto Sordi about 130, Piazza Colonna and Galleria Sciarra about 200.

Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain in the evening, on a Wednesday in November, is less crowded than on summer weekends. After the show it's the most natural stop on the way back.

Galleries and squares

Galleria Alberto Sordi connects Via del Tritone to Piazza Colonna, where the Column of Marcus Aurelius and Palazzo Chigi stand. Galleria Sciarra, with its decorated courtyard, is worth a two-minute detour.

The Quirinale

Going uphill you reach the Quirinal Palace, about 340 meters away in a straight line. The square, with its view over the rooftops, is one of the most accessible viewpoints in the center.

The other halls

A few steps away are Teatro Quirino and Sala Umberto: Trevi and Colonna are, in fact, a small theater district.

Where to eat before or after Outsider

Around the Trevi Fountain, restaurants for passing tourists prevail: for a better dinner it's best to move a few streets away, toward the Quirinale or toward the Pantheon.

Two options

With the show at 21:00 you can eat early, around 19:30, or afterward, Roman style, in a place that still serves dinner after 23:00. On Wednesdays booking is easier, but still advisable.

Something sweet after the show

Between Trevi and the Pantheon there are historic gelato shops and cafés open late. A gelato standing at the counter is the most Roman way to end the evening.

Accessibility, teenagers and practical information

For the accessibility of Teatro de' Servi for people with mobility disabilities and for reserved seats, it's best to ask the theater before buying, at 06 6795130 or info@teatroservi.it.

With teenagers

Baz is known to several generations, thanks to Colorado and the radio. Outsider touches on themes such as ignorance, racism and social media, with cutting irony: it's suitable for older teens, while for children the evening time is already an obstacle.

November weather

In mid-November the evening is cool and rain arrives suddenly: a jacket and a small umbrella are enough for the short walk from the metro to the theater.

How to plan the Outsider evening in the Trevi district

The Outsider evening can be organized entirely on foot: the show starts at 21:00 and the Trevi district, with Colonna and the Quirinale, offers walks, aperitivo and dinner within a few minutes of the theater.

Before seven

In November the sun sets around five: if you arrive in the center in the late afternoon you can go up to the Quirinale for the view over the rooftops and then come down toward Galleria Alberto Sordi when the shop windows are lit.

Aperitivo

Between seven and eight it's best to choose a place in the side streets, away from the fountain square, where prices are more honest and service less hurried. A quarter of an hour before the start you'll be at the theater without rushing.

Running time

The theater's website doesn't give Outsider's running time. For a one-man show of this kind it's reasonable to expect to come out around 22:30, but it's best not to plan anything too tight right after.

Getting back

If you're heading back out of the city, check the last metro A run and regional trains in advance. A taxi from Trevi to Termini is still the simplest solution if you don't want to watch the clock during the show.

Two comedy nights at the de' Servi: Velia Lalli and Baz

On November 10 and 11, 2026, Teatro de' Servi hosts two consecutive comedy nights: on Tuesday Velia Lalli with Era meglio morire da piccoli, on Wednesday Baz with Outsider.

Two different paths

Velia Lalli comes from the Roman stand-up scene born with the Satiriasi collective, Baz from Milanese cabaret and Colorado's television. Seeing them on two nights in a row is a concrete way to understand how Italian comedy has changed over the last 20 years.

A common theme

Both shows talk about feeling out of place: she in the face of advancing age, he in the face of a world that keeps considering him an outsider. It's a coincidence that makes the two evenings complementary.

A curious fact about Baz, Outsider at Teatro de' Servi, November 11, 2026

The most surprising curiosity of Baz's career concerns his voice. To improve his singing, the Sardinian comedian moved to Los Angeles for a while, where he studied with Seth Riggs, the teacher known for the speech level singing method and for having worked as vocal coach for Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and Madonna. A comedian who grew up in Milan's cabarets and in holiday resorts, where he had worked as an entertainer since 1999, ended up taking lessons from the same teacher as the great American stars. When there's singing in Outsider, this training is behind it.

The second curiosity also concerns the United States. In May 2016 Baz performed at the Hollywood Comedy Store in Los Angeles, one of the most famous comedy clubs in the world, where many of the big names of American stand-up have played. For a comedian who still describes himself as an outsider, stepping onto that stage was a small paradox: the eternal outcast welcomed into the temple of comedy. The third curiosity is literary: his first novel, School of Baz, published by Mondadori in 2011, was part of the Biblioteca umoristica series. Radio, books, stand-up, musicals: the list in Outsider's presentation isn't an exaggeration.

Something nobody tells you about Baz, Outsider at Teatro de' Servi, November 11, 2026

What's rarely said is that the character of Gianni Cyano, the singer Baz brought to Colorado, also had a real recording career. In 2013 Sony Music distributed Un album del Canto, the album credited to the character, and in the following years the singles Natale reggaeton, in 2019, and Portami a bailar, in 2020, also came out. Those who remember Baz only for Colorado's media player will discover in the theater an artist who has taken music seriously, even while using it to make people laugh.

The second thing concerns radio. Since September 2018 Baz has hosted Tutti pazzi per RDS, with Rossella Brescia and Giacomo Ciccio Valenti, and before that he had been in the cast of Ottovolante on Radio2 for almost 10 years. Part of his audience therefore knows him only as a voice, and in the theater they also discover his physicality, his gestures, his impressions. It's a different experience from that of the listener: at the de' Servi, with an audience close to the stage, the work on body and face can be seen in full. A practical tip: arrive on time, because in a show that mixes monologue and songs a late entrance breaks the rhythm.

My advice for seeing Baz, Outsider at Teatro de' Servi, November 11, 2026

My advice is to come to Outsider without expecting to find the Baz of Colorado. The TV character was a beginning, but the show's presentation talks about something else: a man who has done everything and still feels out of place, ignorance, racism and social media, conventions that keep us prisoner. Those who expect only catchphrases risk missing the most interesting part of the evening, the one in which laughter gives way to a moment of emotion.

The second piece of advice concerns your seat. The de' Servi is a medium-sized hall and you can see well almost everywhere. For a show that alternates voice and movement, though, the central rows let you catch both the facial expressions and the whole stage.

The third concerns the evening. If you can, come on November 10 too for Velia Lalli: two shows, two generations of comedy, the same stage. And the same rule applies to both evenings: a walk around Trevi before, dinner in the streets toward the Quirinale, a walk back toward the Pantheon.

Another well-known fact, yet seldom mentioned

It's well known that Teatro de' Servi was inaugurated by Eduardo De Filippo on April 26, 1957. It's less often remembered that its first show, De Pretore Vincenzo, was censored by the Vicariate right after the premiere, amid great controversy, and that the hall remained closed for a few months. A theater built in the vegetable garden of a convent, next to the parish of Santa Maria in Via, began its history with a clash with church authority: an outsider's start, you might say.

A second fact, known to those who follow Italian comedy but seldom cited, concerns Colorado. The Italia 1 program was for years one of the main showcases for Italian comedians, and Baz was a regular from 2007 to 2015, with characters such as the media player and the singer Gianni Cyano. In 2012 he also took part in Colorado, Sto classico, the version in which the cast reinterpreted the classics: on that occasion he was Benvolio in a version of Romeo and Juliet. Theater, in short, has been part of Baz's path since long before Outsider: from the musical Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie in 2011 all the way to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

The right photo to take at Baz, Outsider at Teatro de' Servi, November 11, 2026

During the show your phone stays in your pocket: in a show made of comic timing and songs, a lit screen distracts the people around you and can be seen from the stage. Photos are taken before and after.

The first is at the theater entrance, on Via del Mortaro, with the Outsider poster: for a show about those who feel out of place, a photo on the threshold, one foot in and one out, has its own ironic sense. The corner with Via del Tritone, with the traffic lights, completes the image.

The second is the Trevi Fountain after the show. On Wednesday, around 11 at night, the square is quieter: if you wait a few minutes you'll find a gap in front of the basin. Better without flash, which flattens the water.

The third is Piazza Colonna, about 200 meters away, with the lit Column of Marcus Aurelius and the facade of Palazzo Chigi. It's the most fitting backdrop to end an evening of satire: the seat of government, a few steps from a stage that has just made fun of ignorance and conventions.

Some important events that happened here

The history of Teatro de' Servi begins in 1950 with the construction of the building in the vegetable garden and garden of the convent next to the parish of Santa Maria in Via, in the Trevi district. On April 26, 1957, Eduardo De Filippo inaugurated the hall with the world premiere of De Pretore Vincenzo, with Achille Millo and Valeria Moricone, sets by Titina De Filippo and music by Renzo Rossellini. Right after came the Vicariate's censorship, and the theater remained closed for a few months.

Until the end of the 1970s the de' Servi was a reference point for the Roman public, with Italian and foreign companies, concerts and chamber opera. With the new safety regulations of the 1980s, the hall closed at the end of the 1983 season, reopened in 1984 with 252 seats, closed again in 1988 and returned to activity at the beginning of 1990.

In July 2002 management passed to the company La Bilancia, which renovated the hall and focused on Italian comedies by living authors. In recent years the theater has added a season of shows and stand-up to its drama. On November 11, 2026, Baz's Outsider is one of its dates, the evening after Velia Lalli.

Who has passed through Baz, Outsider at Teatro de' Servi, November 11, 2026

The history published by Teatro de' Servi lists many names from Italian and international show business. Besides Eduardo De Filippo, this stage has seen actors such as Aldo Giuffrè, Fiorenzo Fiorentini, Silvio Spaccesi, Giusi Raspani Dandolo and Jole Fierro, and foreign actors such as Robert Alda and Eva Bartok.

For music, the theater recalls conductors such as Massimo Pradella and Renzo Rossellini, opera singers such as Katia Ricciarelli and Giuseppe Sabatini, ensembles such as Massimo Coen's I Solisti Romani, and also Eduardo Bennato and Momix. It's a list that mixes drama, opera, song and dance, and that makes the de' Servi a fitting hall for an artist like Baz, who in his career has crossed exactly all these languages.

In the 2026/2027 season the stage welcomes a new generation of comedians: Claudio Lauretta, Velia Lalli, Baz, Dikele, Carlotta Rondana, Laura Formenti, Maura Bloom and others until May. Baz brings with him 20 years of cabaret, radio and television, and a show that, with irony, tells precisely of the effort to find a place on this list.

Outsider is the chance to see up close a comedian the general public knows mostly from television and radio, in a hall the right size for his energy.

My advice is to buy your ticket in time, sit in the central rows and, if possible, pair the evening with Velia Lalli's the day before. With the Trevi Fountain 100 meters away and the Pantheon a short walk off, it's a November evening you can build entirely on foot.
