Tim Meadows was hilarious!! This is our second time going to the Helium Comedy Club. I like that it's a smaller venue because that means there's no bad seat in the house!

We had a great time and some big laughs. I would have given 5 stars but to food quality does not match the price. I know prices are climbing but the quality should not suffer. Wait staff was great. Opening host was really great. Tim Meadows was awesome.

We had a great time at the Josh Johnson show, our first visit to Helium. Arrived at 9:20 for a 10pm show, had reserved seats, no problems with parking ( we parked on the street). Lobby was full when we arrived. There seems to be a separate line for reserved ticket holders once you get your tickets. Doors opened on time. We ended up with front row seats because there were only 2 of us... next row was parties of 4, larger groups seated farther back on larger tables. The Mediterranean combo platter was a good choice. I was not a fan of the Spring Fizz drink special I ordered ... but it might have been the combination with the olives on the platter! Table service was excellent. With reserved seats you are seated first and we got service right away.The evening went much more smoothly than the scary how to instruction email we received prior to the show.

I have been to helium comedy club about 4-5 times within the past year. Last night, I went with a group of 5 other girls and had a very bad experience. A couple of the girls were from out of state so when we went to order our drinks the waitress took our identifications to the back to get them scanned. This was completely understandable as they must ensure they do not serve underage customers. They held our ids in the back for over 30 minutes while we were completely ignored by the staff and not waited on. In the meantime, the security guard asked us to see a second form of identification. We showed him copies of our passports as a second form and he actually took them in the back to show the manager/or owner. We assured them we were of age, we explained that this was a college reunion/birthday celebration and that’s why everyone at the table was from different parts of the country. They actually asked me to call my father and spoke with him, which was very weird as I am an adult. We had full understanding that our ids needed to be checked and that the establishment needed to do their due diligence to insure they’re not serving minors but the way they treated us was disrespectful. What we were looking for was communication from the staff on why they couldn’t properly scan our IDs and why they were withholding them. When we asked for our IDs back after over 15 minutes of them holding them the waitress threatened to kick us out if we kept talking. Ultimately, they told us that we were unable to order any alcoholic drinks. We spoke to the manager/owner and he treated us as if we were young, immature, and doing something wrong, not like the professional adults we are. He made comments like “you’re not going to talk yourself into getting booze tonight” and “this is entirely up to my discretion”. He stated that one of the IDs wont scan, this is a problem on his end as all of the ID’s are real and all of us were over 21. Afterwards, we ended up at the casino where the IDs were properly scanned for entrance. Drinking alcohol was not our priority, although at helium comedy club there is a 2 item mimimim purchase per person. Prior to the show we had gone out for dinner and our plan was to order drinks to meet their requirement. While discussing this with the manager/owner he didn’t give us an option to not order anything or even the option to leave with a refund. Our friends came in from out of town and the comedy club was one of the main events of the weekend to celebrate our friends birthday. The staff and in particular the manager and waitress at Helium comedy club completely ruined our experience. Consequently, we elected to leave as we were unable to enjoy the comedy show. We spent > $220 to attend the show, I think that we deserved a refund and an apology as we missed the show due to their poor management and the way they handled our situation. In conclusion, I felt that the management treated us like children when in fact, we are professional adult women.
