The comedian was racist and not funny, I understand having jokes but all of the jokes were about race. The service and food was good.

Great experience and my server Julia was very friendly and accommodating! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great night and we did!
Be the first to ReplyCame here yesterday on St.
Patrick's Day with my wife and friends to see Martin Amini. Great show! I'm now known as "Philly White Guy" as my group was not only the oldest but Whitest too according to Martin in the audience of a couple hundred plus for the early show. We had purchased our tickets a couple months in advance and they were waiting for us at the box office (will call) after we made our entrance into the club and were all carded. There's a small hallway of memorabilia signed from past famous performers along with a merch section and then you get to the staff who asks how many in your party and tells the waitstaff where to seat you. My party was second row back off the left side of center stage in a spot that could easily be interacted with by the comedians, which I was being noticed in my Eagles jersey (green for St. Patrick's Day). As I said earlier, it holds about 250 people and it was packed this evening with mostly 20-year-olds and a good bit of 30-year-olds. Everyone had a great time. The seats themselves are better than banquet seats and mostly comfortable. Some table setups will have you seated with others that you may not have been expecting. The waitstaff came around often enough, and the drinks and food were actually reasonably priced. My fried chicken sandwich turned out to be two chicken fingers on a decent sized roll with tomato and lettuce with a zingy mayo that made it much better. I subbed tater tots for fries and they were nice and crispy and came with a small ramekin of ketchup. My St. Patty's Margarita was sickeningly sweet, and the Guinness beer could have been colder. My wife and friends only got drinks which were fine. There is a mandatory two-item per person for the show which could be drinks or food or both. Most paid with credit card on the spot but they did take cash. The bathrooms are in a bar area just outside the main performance area. However, anything purchased there does not count towards your two items so be sure to order with the waitstaff in the main area. After the show as there was a VIP Meet and Greet, they had guests leave towards the door and the VIP get in line on the opposite side of the room. Everyone was orderly. Martin said the show would be featured on his YouTube channel next week or so, so if you see the video about Mike the Philly White Guy being a "Wooden Spoon Survivor" that's me. My wife and friends had a blast and would return to Helium Comedy Club for other shows.
Be the first to ReplyI'm not sure about this one.
Upon entering, I picked up our tickets. Was directed to the bar. I don't drink. I'm not against drinking but I'd rather not. But I understood a requirement of the ticket is to buy two things off the menu. Hold up before I get to this point. I brought two tickets to see DC Curry. $24 tickets =$48. They added a service charge on top of the ticket prices. I don't mind the price it's the sneaky thing that irks me. Ended up being almost $65 how idk. So back to the two drink thing. Or two things off menu. I buy two peach something's. Didn't expect them to be that big but they were. Had to get ice strained out of one because I figured it would be watery before I got through the first one. Glass cups might I add. So closer to the show. It starts to get packed. Like real packed. So we're all squished like sardines. They open the doors and it's no structure. And people don't have consideration for the next so they just trying make sure they got good seats even though when you get to the front of the line it's assigned seating. It's extra dark in there. Not even like a good dark. They got like weird color lights you got to get use too. We're seated on the back wall. On bar stools that were comfortable to start but got irritating after awhile. Different table options all over. Not a huge place but spacious to a point. Eventually the waitress comes over and ask what would we like. Not to say we weren't going to order but I tried to say I just brought two drinks at the bar. And she told me they don't count. . That there are signs saying those don't count at the bar and we have to buy in the lounge. But she was so Dismissive, that I kinda felt offended or else I would've left it alone. Asked another worker. Same dismissiveness in their answer. But he would send a manager. Let me remind people, lighting is horrible. The girl that gave us our tickets at the front, didn't say look for the signs she directed us to the bar. Anyways that pissed me off but I still ordered. We got a tea with blackberry syrup. So it's not a sweetened tea and then add the blackberry. It's tea and tap water. And then the syrup is lightly added. 2/10 on that. And we got a Chips and Dip. Guacamole was good but hot asl and so was the cheese. The comedy was a good show. Better seat and earlier show would have made me enjoy it more. Dc Curry 8/10. Helium Night Club 3/10. They need to work on some things
Be the first to ReplyRecently saw a few comedians at Helium, and it wasn't too
Recently saw a few comedians at Helium, and it wasn't too bad! The room itself is pretty cramped. You can get reserved seating, or show up early and hope to get a good seat. We had reserved seating, so we waited a bit before showing up, and when we did, the place was packed. Seems if you want to get a seat by the stage, you need to wing it with a non-reserved seat. And you will definitely be packed in like a sardine. All good. Not the kind of venue i'd want to be in if covid was in full swing - basically no ventilation, low ceilings, etc. - but a perfectly acceptable venue for a comedy club. Very similar to other comedy clubs in various states, to be honest. Food, can't speak to it, didn't have any. Drinks, they do have a wide selection. The two item minimum is a bit annoying, but honestly this has been the business model at comedy clubs for decades, so it is what it is. Service, despite the place being packed, was pretty decent, and we saw our server several times over the time we were there. Far more often than at Green Eggs Café, actually, which i also recently reviewed. And Helium is pretty well known and does seem to attract some top talent, which is great! Overall, this place isn't the best, isn't the worst, but as far as comedy clubs go, they're doing just fine. Recommend reserved seating if you don't want to have to get there extra early or be extra cramped.

He had us crying. The host and other opening acts were funny as well. First time here, definitely not the last!
Be the first to ReplyHelium is my favorite! We have gone a few times over the
Helium is my favorite! We have gone a few times over the past year and always have so much fun. We usually go to dinner in the area first, but they do have food and it's pretty good. The tickets are cheap, we go for the reserved seats but the general admission ones are good too. There is a drink minimum keep in mind but it's not overly expensive or anything. Sometimes they have late night ticket specials for 10$ tickets if you're a late night person. The service from the waitstaff is always great too. Make sure you tip them well they work hard during those shows!

Everything was excellent! Atmosphere, food, service, and comedians were great! We had a great time at the 4 pm Sunday show. It was non-stop laughing! I can't wait to return
Be the first to ReplyWent to the Down and Dirty show Dec 2 which was great.
I will return for the comedy but will be more selective in what I order drink-wise. My friend ordered an espresso martini which she was unable to drink as it was extremely sweet. The replacement drink she ordered was supposed to be a mudslide which looked like it was watered down. Cremesicle drink I ordered was 'meh'. Please attend to repairs needed in the women's restroom. There were 2 stalls out of order and water on the floor between the handicapped stall and the one next to it.
Be the first to ReplyHad a great time.
Big comedy club venue with quick service on food and drinks. We shared lot of laughs
Be the first to ReplyCame here to see Michael Coylar, the show was not his best
Came here to see Michael Coylar, the show was not his best work but ok. We purchased our tix a week early, but still managed to be told I have to squeeze you guys in because it's a sold out show. I was seated in makeshift seating where I had to keep moving in so the wait staff could get by. The view of the opening comedian was obstructed by the wall. Overall it was a less than good experience. The place is such a money grab that they will sit you in the kitchen as long as they can charge for a seat. Do better helium !! Oh: the food was the best part of the evening!Also there is a parking lot next door, which is convenient.
Be the first to ReplyFun night seeing Adam Corolla.
This was our first time at this venue. Felt like someone's basement. The show was sold out. Tons of people. We were sitting with another couple we didn't know, which happens with comedy shows. Thankfully we were up one riser and could see over the whole main floor of the venue. The drinks we ordered were decent 2 item minimum.
Be the first to ReplyAs an artist, I enjoy live art, and it doesn't get more
As an artist, I enjoy live art, and it doesn't get more live than at Helium Comedy Club. I came last year to see a comedian I loved and had a blast.This time around I went with a friend to see the Stress Exorcist, since we both are *very stressed* (lol). We were seated up front which was nice, get there early (about 45-30 minutes for up close seats). As a short person I need this so highly recommend doing it. The service is good the waiters can tend to be too attentive when the show is going on so be aware of that. Now for the saddest part, the saddest part. The food. I ordered the Chicken Avocado Sandwich which was beyond underwhelming. It reminded me of what a gym bro would eat if they solely want protein and forgo flavor. Unfortunately that is not me, and I wanted my sandwich to well taste like something. It was pale and supposedly "grilled" but seemed boiled to me. The avocado was barely in there and the bread was chewy (not in a good way). Some honey mustard that tasted like something from a bottle. No seasoning to be found. My friend got the Fried Chicken. There was no fried to be found, it was essentially a chicken tender that you would get from the school cafeteria. He didn't finish it and was really disappointed. The fries he said were decent.For the drinks he got a cocktail, that was peaches flavor. He enjoyed it which was a positive. I got the grapefruit juice which was good and the ginger beer. That was not good and can't believe they sold it at all. There was barely any ginger and really flat. The show itself was so fun though and we enjoyed the laughs. There is a two item per person minimum, which can be a pain when the food is subpar and the drinks can be hit or miss. I want to come back but the two item minimum makes it difficult to want to come back when the food is overpriced for the low quality.
Be the first to ReplyMany years and countless comedy shows later, I can say that
Many years and countless comedy shows later, I can say that Helium is still my favorite comedy club. Comfortable but not cramped, a menu with TWO salad options, and a lineup that has a lot of comedians I like. What else is there?I'm of the age where I don't want to get drunk at a comedy show. And I don't always want fried food--a comedy club staple. So offering salad is a pretty big deal for me. I like the seating too. I don't feel like I'm sitting in my neighbor's lap. We even have a favorite table (not near the front), though you can't request a specific table with reserved seating so we buy GA and try to time our arrival for that table to be available. I love standup comedy, and Helium books some of my favorites. I've already got two more shows planned for the new year.
Be the first to ReplyNice venue, they packed us in there but to be expected for
Nice venue, they packed us in there but to be expected for Deon Cole. The show was amazing with comedian Ocean opening the show. The ticket purchase and pickup was seamless. The staff, from the door to the servers was excellent. My drink and food (barbecue pizza) was pretty tasty. I'm looking forward to another show at Helium.
Be the first to Replygreat club.
decent beer selection. the bar food is good. incredibly organized. keep in mind, if you show up early and order a drink from the bar, it does not count towards your bill of "2 items per person" for your bill. no matter where you sit, youll have a good view of the comics.
Be the first to ReplySaw Stavros Halkias here.
The crowd was so drunk and incoherent he couldn't even roast us. Guess we showed him how we roll in Philly. The shows work like this: you line up inside, they assign you a table (our party of 2 was squished next to another party of 2), and then the server comes around to get your two item minimum order. The food sucks and the table is too small to put 4 people's stuff on. The staff are cool though. And there was a tidy queue for the meet and greet after the show. It's not my preferred way to see comedy but beggars can't be choosers.
Be the first to ReplyWe saw Greg Stone and Michelle Wolf here.
Seating is a little cozy with your neighbor, but the food and service were fantastic. Their honey mustard was phenomenal!
Be the first to ReplyNice lil spot to catch a laugh, they do have a 2 item
Nice lil spot to catch a laugh, they do have a 2 item minimum per person just to give you a heads up. The drinks weren't bad and the staff were all nice. Unfortunately the food is terrible so eat before or have dinner plans for after. Oh, there's a 50/50 chance you might have to sit at a small table with people you may not know luckily we were on the winning side of the 50. Either way go watch a show its a nice atmosphere for comedy.
Be the first to ReplyThe show was hilarious, and food and service were
The show was hilarious, and food and service were surprisingly good for a comedy club. The problem is they oversell shows and crowd people in beyond what's comfortable or even safe. When we arrived, we were seated at table with a capacity for two with two other people we'd never met. Every other table in the club was also seated at double normal capacity. I was literally boxed in with people all around me and no clear aisle to get up. If anyone had COVID there, I'm pretty sure we all do now. Not to mention, what would happen in a fire. I'm sympathetic that Helium wants to let as many people as possible see some really great comics and make back what they lost during closures. But the tight seating was really uncomfortable and just not safe.
