An award-winning comedian stopped by a Fall River restaurant and he was pretty impressed.
Before headlining a comedy festival at Venus de Milo in Swansea on Saturday night, Canadian Mike Rita stopped by Avo’s Feast and took to social media Sunday expressing how much he enjoyed his time there. He also showed some love for those who came out to the show.
“FALL RIVER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LAST NIGHT!!! HOLY S*** WHAT A SHOW!!!
“If you loved last night’s show, there’s only 1 person to thank, Avo from @AvosFeast. Legit I said “don’t make too much food, were just swinging by for a bite”
“And in true Portuguese grandma fashion, they made us a spread and a half. WHAT. A. MEAL!!
“Yes I ate 7 chicken tenders but thats only because of the Garlic Aioli they had!!
“THANK YOU SWANSEA, FALL RIVER, NEW BEDFORD, SOMERSET, BOSTON, WARWICK AND THE OTHER 90 PLACES PEOPLE CAME FROM LAST NIGHT ♡♡♡♡♡♡
“Love you guys, FALL REEEEVA truly is my second home. Till next time primos.”
Rita is from Toronto, known for relatable storytelling that draws on his Portuguese heritage, family dynamics, cultural identity, and everyday life (often with a 420/weed angle).
He has had multiple appearances at Just For Laughs (including hosting the festival’s first 420 show), a 2022 Canadian Screen Award nomination for Roast Battle Canada, and being named one of the 70 most significant Portuguese Canadians of the past 70 years by the President of Portugal in 2024.
