Was able to contact friendly agent on chat ahead to request accessible seating for my myself and birthday guests which was conveniently fulfilled when we arrived. She answered all my questions patiently. Stage room, Room, lobby and restrooms were clean and spacious. I believe there is a small bar that does serve alcohol outside main area. It is The place had air conditioning and we sat at small tables on raised back row where the cameras were set up but was fine. It is dark and I slipped on step walking so be careful. Below us was main floor where they have both banquette and individual tables set up. Servers come around for food and drink orders. And menu is pretty decent than what I was expecting. Was packed show and I was wearing mask but not sure that made a huge difference if you're concerned about social distancing this might not be the indoor venue for you because there's no window ventilation and usually show is 1.5-2 hours.

This was my first time here. I absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time. Went to see Schuler King that I follow on YouTube. He did not disappoint and had me in tears. There is a 2 minimum purchase per person. I ordered a sunset drink and the sampler tray. This was delicious and the drink was just right for me. The wait staff was very nice as well as the lady for ticket check in. There is a parking garage right next door. It was $20 and they take the car and park it. So be mindful when the show is over how long it may rake to get your car. We waited for autograph and pictures with Shuler. So when we were done it did not take long to get the car back. Just a small note if you are in a rush to leave go right to the garage or find street parking. Otherwise I say go and enjoy yourself with good food and drinks and be entertained. The crowd was nice and friendly and of mixed age groups and cultures. I will definitely go back.

This was my first visit and the overall experience was pleasant. The servers were fast, friendly and efficient in bringing food/drinks. I recommend arriving early and remember there is a 2 item minimum purchase in the showroom.

Slightly congested in the auditorium. I felt stuck against the railing with minimal space to maneuver. Overall, pleasant experience. Enjoyed the show and selection of comics. I'd rather similar places increase the price of the ticket and offer the choice of whether or not I want to purchase food or beverages. I don't visit such places to eat, I visit for comedy.

Questions & Answers

Hypothetically speaking, If you bought some tickets and the comedian you wanted to see got arrested for calling in a bomb threat in the previous month and didn't post bail in time to make it to the show - are refunds available?

We would say, hypothetically speaking, said bail was posted yesterday.

Is there any "clean" comedy offered?

The short answer is yes. The club absolutely hosts comics who have material that is considered "clean". The best way in my opinion to make sure the act will be appropriate for you would be to look at the callander and go to a show of someone you're familiar with. Helium is a great place.

Can you buy tickets for show at the door?

If not already sold out you can buy tickets at the door. If it's a big name show I would recommend purchasing in advance.

What’s the difference between reserved and general admission? One time we got general and we got placed up front first row. Then we bought reserved and got seated like three tables back. Did we just luck out the first time?

From my understanding from when I called and asked Helium...... reserved seating assures that you and your party sits together without sharing a table. And they try to get you up close. Depending on when you purchase your seats it's like first come first serve. I too purchased reserved, gen, and bought the add on boost. And it was a hit or miss with seating.

What's the dress code?

Calvin Alexander | Aug 10, 2018

Not formal, jeans and nice polo type attire is fine.
