Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

Giorgia Fumo brings Out Of Office, her stand-up show about office life, to Teatro Olimpico in Rome, Piazza Gentile da Fabriano 17 (00196 Rome), on Monday, November 16 and Tuesday, November 17, 2026, starting at 20:30 both evenings. You get there by metro line A to Flaminio and then tram 2 to Piazza Mancini terminus, from which it's about 500 meters on foot along Viale del Pinturicchio, or alternatively bus 910 from Termini to the Pannini stop. The prices published by the theater range from 20 to 33 euros plus booking fee, depending on the section, with an online fee of 2 euros per ticket. Tickets are sold on the official Teatro Olimpico website or at the box office. The show is produced by Savà Produzioni Creative.

Language: performed in Italian. No English version or English surtitles are announced.

13 years in an office, among presentations and spreadsheets, then the leap: Giorgia Fumo is a Roman engineer who in 2023 left her job to do comedy full time, and Out Of Office is the show in which she tells the story of that very world. She's one of the most followed voices in Italian stand-up of recent years, and her audience recognizes their own working week in her monologues. Our verdict is clear: if you spend your days going from one call to the next, two hours at the Olimpico are worth more than a course on workplace wellbeing.

The two evenings

There are two performances in Rome, on Monday and Tuesday, both at 20:30. These are days when many theaters are closed: for the Olimpico and for Giorgia Fumo's audience, who work in offices from Monday to Friday, it's almost a joke in itself.

Balconata balaustra with restricted view: 25 plus 3.80. Balconata laterale: 22 plus 3.30. Balconata laterale balaustra with restricted view: 20 plus 3. The booking fee is always charged when the ticket is issued, and buying online adds 2 euros per ticket.

Where to buy tickets

Tickets are sold on the official Teatro Olimpico website, from the show page, or at the box office on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano. For information the theater gives the address biglietti@teatroolimpico.it.

The production

Out Of Office is produced by Savà Produzioni Creative and is part of Teatro Olimpico's 2026/2027 season. The theater presents it as Giorgia Fumo's return to the stage after last season's tour, received with enthusiasm in Italian cities.

Out Of Office: what it's about

Out Of Office is a journey through the challenges and absurdities of office life, built by Giorgia Fumo on her 13 years of work and on how the world of work has changed radically in the last 15 years.

The office as a microcosm

The official presentation speaks of a lively, authentic portrait of a microcosm in which, like it or not, we spend most of our days, mixing expectations, frustrations and limits. The point of view is that of someone who has really been inside it, not of someone watching from outside.

The themes

PowerPoint presentations and burnout, Excel sheets and people who brag about working with people, the tearjerker stories posted on professional social networks, the fights over the air conditioning. It's the inventory of any open-plan office, and that's exactly why it works: everyone in the audience recognizes at least one coworker.

Laughing and thinking

The theater insists on one point: Out Of Office isn't just a sequence of jokes, but also a reflection. Between one call and the next where you show your worst side, the presentation says, there's always room for a laugh and a thought. Fumo's comedy comes from observation, and observation, when it's precise, always leads to some questions.

The title

Out of office is the automatic message you set before vacation or an absence: I'm out of the office, I'll reply when I'm back. For a comedian who really did leave the office, it's a title with a double bottom. Anyone who has ever written that message hoping never to have to come back will get it.

Giorgia Fumo's style

Sharp irony, a gaze on the present and personal storytelling are, according to Teatro Olimpico, the elements that define Giorgia Fumo's style, today among the most recognizable voices of Italian comedy.

Stand-up

Stand-up comedy is a bare form: one person, one microphone, no set. It rests only on writing and timing. Fumo belongs to the generation that brought this language, born in clubs, to the stages of Italian theaters with a thousand seats.

The engineer's eye

Fumo has a technical background and long experience in digital marketing, and it shows. Her monologues have an almost analytical structure: a phenomenon, its data, its contradictions, its absurdity. It's the comedy of someone who spent years reading reports, and who learned to find the weak spot in every slide.

A generational comedy

Many articles describe her as the comedian of Millennials, squeezed between boomers and Generation Z. It's a reductive reading but not a wrong one: her audience is largely made up of people in their 30s and 40s who have watched work change before their eyes. At the Olimpico, though, it's not rare to see three generations laughing at the same jokes.

Who Giorgia Fumo is: biography

Giorgia Fumo was born in Rome on April 21, 1986 and is an Italian comedian, writer and engineer: raised in Sardinia, with an engineering degree from the University of Pisa, she worked for more than 10 years in digital marketing before devoting herself entirely to stand-up comedy.

Rome, Sardinia, Pisa

Born in Rome, she grew up in Sardinia and moved to Pisa to study engineering. Teatro Olimpico is therefore a return to her home city. After graduating she worked in digital marketing as a digital strategist and marketing intelligence consultant, with a double life the press has often described: consultant by day, comedian by night.

Improv theater

At 24, while still studying, she got into improv theater, which she practices and teaches. She performs in Italian and in English, in Italy and abroad, and even won an international improv competition in Berlin. It's a school you can recognize in the way she handles the stage: quick reflexes, rapport with the audience, the ability to change direction halfway through a joke.

Stand-up since 2019

In 2019 she started doing stand-up comedy and performed in the main Italian clubs and festivals of the genre. From 2020 she was part of Comedy Central's Stand Up Comedy program for four consecutive seasons, and then appeared in Il Giovane OLD on Rai 2. In 2021 she was the only Italian semifinalist at the Funny Women Awards, the international competition devoted to women in comedy.

2022

In 2022 she performed at Teatro dei Filodrammatici in Milan with La Repubblica Indipendente della Comicità, spoke at TEDx Lungarno Mediceo in Pisa and was among the finalists of the 13th edition of Italia's Got Talent, broadcast on Sky Uno. It was the appearance that made her known to the general public.

The 2023 choice

In 2023 she left her job as an engineer to devote herself to comedy alone. That same year she debuted Vita Bassa, which toured Italy and five European capitals and was broadcast by Comedy Central on Comedy Central Presents. In 2024 Vita Bassa received the Premio per la Satira Politica of Forte dei Marmi and the Premio Antani.

The book and LinkedIn

In 2024 she published with HarperCollins the book Ingegneria della vita adulta, devoted to work and contemporary daily life. In January 2026 LinkedIn included her among its Italian Top Voices: a comedian who satirizes the tearjerker stories of professional social networks, recognized by that very network. Then came Out Of Office, on tour since 2025.

Giorgia Fumo's shows and television

Giorgia Fumo's career is divided between three theater shows, La Repubblica Indipendente della Comicità from 2022, Vita Bassa from 2023 and Out Of Office, and a television presence built mainly on Comedy Central.

La Repubblica Indipendente della Comicità

This is the 2022 show at Teatro dei Filodrammatici in Milan, the first step toward the form of the long monologue. For a comedian born in clubs, going from the 10 minutes of an open mic to the hour of a full show is the hardest leap.

Vita Bassa

Vita Bassa is the show that established her: a tour of Italy and five European capitals, broadcast on Comedy Central, two awards in 2024. La Repubblica, in March 2025, described it as the show about the squeezed life of Millennials between boomers and Generation Z.

Television

Stand Up Comedy on Comedy Central from 2020 to 2023, Il Giovane OLD on Rai 2 in 2021, Italia's Got Talent on Sky Uno in 2022, Comedy Central Presents with Vita Bassa in 2023. But her fame comes above all from social media, where she has built a very large following among young adults.

Teatro Olimpico, the venue for Out Of Office

Teatro Olimpico on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano has been active as a cinema and theater since 1936 and as a theater since 1981, and it has 1,410 seats, 966 in the orchestra and 444 in the gallery. The venue's page is Teatro Olimpico.

From cinema to theater

The building was built between 1935 and 1936 for the Società Generale Immobiliare, in the years when Flaminio and the Foro Italico were being created. Until the 1950s it worked mainly as a cinema, with variety acts during the intermissions. Hence its shape: a large cinema with the facilities of a theater.

The amphitheater-style orchestra

The 966 orchestra seats are raked, like an amphitheater: those sitting in the back rows can see over the heads of those in front. For stand-up, where every expression counts, it's a clear advantage. The gallery, which at the box office corresponds to the balcony, has a horseshoe shape.

The stage

The stage measures about 10 meters deep by 12 wide. For a solo comedian with a microphone it's a huge space, and filling it with voice and timing is the real test of the craft.

The architecture

The building is in reinforced concrete, with travertine on the base and the cornices, restored to its original look by a recent renovation. Inside are a round foyer and wide corridors. The theater quotes a remark attributed to Orson Welles, according to whom the Olimpico would be the only place in Rome able to recall the atmosphere of Broadway theaters.

Where to sit for Giorgia Fumo

For Out Of Office the best seats are in the central orchestra, between poltronissima gold and poltrona: stand-up lives on pauses, glances and micro-expressions, and distance matters.

Poltronissima gold

At 33 euros plus booking fee it's the closest section. The front rows, though, are also the ones a comedian with improv experience most likes to talk to: if you don't want to be called on, choose the middle rows.

Poltrona and balconata

Poltrona and balconata cost the same, 26 euros plus booking fee. The poltrona is the better choice: the rake of the orchestra guarantees a good view even from the back rows, and the voice arrives without the distance of the gallery. The central balconata is still a good choice for a group.

The cheaper sections

The balconata laterale sections and those with a restricted-view balustrade, from 20 to 25 euros, are fine if you want to spend little: in a spoken-word show restricted view matters less than in a musical.

How to get to Teatro Olimpico for Out Of Office

Teatro Olimpico can be reached by metro line A to Flaminio and tram 2 to Piazza Mancini terminus, from which it's about 500 meters on foot: this is the route the theater suggests.

Metro A and tram 2

From Flaminio station take tram 2 to Piazza Mancini, then walk along Viale del Pinturicchio to Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, five minutes on foot. From Termini the pattern is the same: metro A, change at Flaminio.

Buses

The lines with a stop near the theater are 220, 232, 233, 280, 301, 446, 48, 910 and 911. The 910 leaves from Termini: get off at the Pannini stop and walk about 300 meters. Lines 200, 201, 53 and the night bus n24 also reach Piazza Mancini.

By car

From the center take Viale del Muro Torto toward Piazzale Flaminio and then the riverside roads to Flaminio, and from the north cross Ponte Duca d'Aosta. On Monday and Tuesday evenings parking is less difficult than on weekends, but it's still a residential neighborhood: leave early.

Flaminio around Teatro Olimpico

Teatro Olimpico is in the Flaminio neighborhood, level with the Ponte della Musica, in an area that also hosts Auditorium Parco della Musica and MAXXI.

Ponte della Musica and the Foro Italico

In front of the theater the Ponte della Musica takes you to the other bank of the Tiber, to the Foro Italico, built in the same years as the Olimpico.

Milvian Bridge

Going up the river you reach Milvian Bridge, with its square full of bars and restaurants: on Monday and Tuesday it's quiet, but for after the theater it's still the most convenient choice.

Toward the center

Along Via Flaminia you reach the edge of Villa Borghese and then Piazza del Popolo.

Where to eat before or after Out Of Office

Around Teatro Olimpico, between Piazza Mancini, Via Flaminia and Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, there are pizzerias, trattorias and bars frequented by the audiences of the theater and the Auditorium. With a 20:30 start, the most practical option is a quick dinner around 19:00, a pizza or a plate of pasta, and getting to your seat with a quarter of an hour to spare. After the show, on Monday many restaurants close early or are on their day off: if you want to have dinner afterward, book. Ponte Milvio, a few minutes away, has the widest choice even on weekdays. For a group of coworkers, which for a show like this is the ideal audience, book the table before buying the tickets.

Accessibility at Teatro Olimpico

If you have reduced mobility and want to see Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, contact the box office before buying, at biglietti@teatroolimpico.it, to find out about suitable seats and access arrangements. The orchestra is raked and the gallery is on the upper floor: these are things to consider when choosing a section.

With young people

The theater doesn't give age limits. The themes, though, are those of working adults: burnout, meetings, coworkers. A teenager will laugh at many jokes, a child will be bored. It's a show to see with coworkers more than with your kids.

A curious fact about Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

The tastiest curious fact concerns LinkedIn. In Out Of Office Giorgia Fumo makes fun of the tearjerker stories you read on professional social networks, the posts in which every layoff becomes a life lesson and every promotion an epic. In January 2026, LinkedIn itself included her among its Italian Top Voices, the recognition the network gives to its most influential profiles. A satirist rewarded by the target of her satire: it's rare, and it's a sign that her irony hits without wounding.

The second curious fact comes from Berlin. Before stand-up, Fumo practiced improv theater for a long time, performing in Italian and English, and won an international improv competition in the German capital itself. Many Italian comedians come from cabaret or TV writing, while she comes from a discipline where there's no script, and you can feel it in the way she reacts to the audience.

The third concerns the title of her book, Ingegneria della vita adulta, published in 2024 by HarperCollins. Anyone who has studied engineering knows the method is always the same: break a problem down into smaller parts. Fumo applies the method to daily life, and she does it laughing.

Something nobody tells you about Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

What almost nobody says is that Out Of Office should be seen with your coworkers. It isn't a joke: a show about office life changes completely if you watch it next to the people you share a desk with. The jokes about the pointless meeting, about the coworker who works with people, about the air conditioning war, become private allusions, and the laughter doubles. With tickets from 20 to 33 euros, a group of coworkers in the balcony or the orchestra spends less than at a company dinner and has more fun.

The second thing is a calendar detail. The Rome performances are on Monday and Tuesday. Monday is the evening when, in Rome, many restaurants are closed and after-theater traffic is lighter, and Tuesday is the evening when the audience is often the most motivated, having chosen to go out midweek. Choose based on how you like the hall: Monday is usually more intimate.

The third: Fumo's comedy, even when it's sharp, isn't vulgar. If you bring parents or relatives who know nothing about stand-up you can relax.

My tip for visiting Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

Choose the poltrona, not the poltronissima. At 26 euros plus 3.90 booking fee, the Olimpico's poltrona offers, thanks to the rake of the orchestra, a clean view even from the back rows, and it's the section with the best ratio between price and listening. The poltronissima gold costs 7 euros more and puts you closer, but for stand-up the difference is felt less than for a dance show or a musical.

Second tip: buy directly on the theater's website or at the box office, and do the full math. With booking fee and online fee, a poltrona ticket costs 31.90 euros in total, a poltronissima gold 40. For a group the difference between sections becomes significant.

Third: before you go, take a look at Giorgia Fumo's videos on social media or at her book. Not to spoil the jokes, but to get into her rhythm. Stand-up works better when you already know the voice of the person speaking. And on Wednesday morning, at the office, tell your coworkers about it: it's the best way to close the circle of a show about the office.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

Teatro Olimpico doesn't belong to a public body or a large group: it's owned by a joint-stock company created in 1980 through a subscription by citizens. Many people in Rome know it, but it's rarely mentioned.

At the end of the 1970s the venue risked disappearing. The owning company and the film company that ran it had gone bankrupt, and the building was up for sale. Adriana Panni, president of the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, promoted a fundraising drive among professionals, entrepreneurs, intellectuals and enthusiasts. The Teatro Olimpico spa was born, and in 1980 it bought the building from the Società Generale Immobiliare. Panni was its president until 1994.

The consequence shows in the program. A private theater that has to support itself needs full houses, and this explains its opening, from 1981, to big-name comedy, international dance and pop music, alongside the Filarmonica's concerts. In the 2009/2010 season, according to the Agis rankings, the Olimpico was the second theater in Rome and the seventh in Italy for attendance. There's a certain irony, for a show about salaried work, in being staged in a theater saved by a group of citizens who put their own money into it: it's the most entrepreneurial hall in Rome.

The right photo to take at Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

The right photo is taken outside, on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, with the Olimpico's facade lit and the name of the show on the marquee. The 1930s building, with its high travertine base brought back to light by the renovation, has a rationalist sobriety that at night, with the theater's lights on, comes out well even with a phone.

For a show called Out Of Office there's also an almost mandatory photo, though it has to be taken before you arrive: your computer screen with the automatic reply set, and the Olimpico ticket next to it. It's the photo Giorgia Fumo's audience gets instantly, and it tells the story of the evening better than any image of the stage.

A third shot can be taken from the Ponte della Musica, a short walk away: the Tiber at night, the Lungotevere Flaminio on one side and the Foro Italico on the other. It's an image of Rome far from the classic monuments. During the show, on the other hand, the phone stays in your pocket: stand-up rests on surprise, and every stolen video uses up a joke for whoever comes next.

Some important events that happened here in history

On March 4, 1965 Pierre Boulez conducted a concert at Teatro Olimpico with the Italian premiere of Igor Stravinsky's Abraham and Isaac and the European premiere of his Elegy for J.F.K. It's perhaps the most important date in the venue's musical history, and it shows how much weight the Accademia Filarmonica Romana had in the cultural life of those years.

In the following years the Olimpico hosted productions in which art and music met: Stravinsky's L'Histoire du soldat in October 1966, with a backdrop by Giacomo Manzù, Niccolò Castiglioni's Tre misteri in 1968, with a sculpture by Mirko, Stravinsky's Mass in 1975, with the golden forms of Corrado Cagli.

1980 is the turning point: the Teatro Olimpico spa is born and buys the building. From 1981 the venue changes name and calling. Moses Pendleton's Momix debuted at the Olimpico in April 1982 and became regular guests, Mikhail Baryshnikov came with the White Oak Dance Project in 1995, the Bolshoi Ballet in 1996. In May 1996 Gigi Proietti brought A me gli occhi here, one of the monologues that made the history of Roman comic theater: a form of solo show of which today's stand-up is, in its own way, a distant relative.

Who has passed through Giorgia Fumo, Out Of Office at Teatro Olimpico, November 16 and 17, 2026

The stage of Teatro Olimpico has seen musicians such as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Jessye Norman, Zubin Mehta, Giuseppe Sinopoli and Pierre Boulez, tied to the Accademia Filarmonica Romana's season, the dance of Baryshnikov, Joaquín Cortés, Lindsay Kemp, Maurice Béjart, the Bolshoi and Momix, the songs of Lucio Dalla, Pooh and Giorgio Gaber. Among the protagonists of its history the theater also names Dario Fo and Nicola Piovani.

And then comedy, which is the reason you're reading these lines: Gigi Proietti, Enrico Brignano, Vincenzo Salemme, Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo, Neri Marcorè, Ale e Franz, Gioele Dix, Cinzia Leone, Lillo e Greg, Max Giusti, Maurizio Battista, who this season returns to the Olimpico with Se non vinco... imparo. In the same season the theater also hosted Fabio De Luigi with his return to the stage.

In the list of the Olimpico's comedians there are few women: Cinzia Leone is among the exceptions. Giorgia Fumo comes to this hall with a form, stand-up, that until a few years ago in Italy was done in clubs, and with a young audience that often enters the Olimpico for the first time. It's a small revolution in the program, and on November 16 and 17 her name joins those who have measured their strength in front of the Roman audience.

Mid-November in Rome

In mid-November Rome is in the middle of the theater season. The evenings are cool and often damp, and the riverside, when you come out of the theater, is windy. A jacket is useful.

A midweek evening

Monday and Tuesday are days when theaters usually rest, and a double midweek date says a lot about Giorgia Fumo's audience: people who work and who, for one evening, leave the office to laugh about the office. It's the show's title put into practice.

Other comedians in Rome

Rome's autumn is rich in stand-up: if you develop a taste for the genre you'll find series and festivals devoted to it in the city, such as the Pigneto Comedy Fest, and other comedians of the same generation in the big venues, from Stefano Rapone at the Nuvola onward.
