Special Event: Dan Docimo

Dan Docimo plays Helium & Elements Restaurant in St. Louis on Wednesday, January 20, 2027, at 7:30 PM. Docimo is a standup comic known for a unique, disarming style, and they're coming to town as the sole bill for the night.

If you haven't come across their name before, here's a bit of context. Docimo (they/them) was listed by Time Out as one of its 2025 Comics on the Rise. They're a member of the Prime Time Cast at the Lincoln Lodge and the producer-drummer of Dumb and Drummer, and they most recently opened for Louis C.K. at the Chicago Theatre. Their credits include the Limestone Comedy Festival, 10,000 Laughs Festival, Altercation Comedy Festival, and Art Basel. When they aren't on stage, they grow mushrooms at home and catch lobsters at the grocery store.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind for this one. The show is 18+, so you'll need to be of age to get in. Seating is either general admission on a first-come, first-served basis or reserved seats assigned by management on the night, so if you're particular about where you sit, arriving early is your best bet. In the Showroom, there's a minimum of two items per person required, and if you're planning to eat, dinner reservations are available before the show on Friday and Saturday nights—though since this is a Wednesday, you'll want to check the restaurant's weekday hours if you're thinking of a meal before the set. The show starts at 7:30 PM.
