My husband and I have gone to helium a couple of times now for various comedy acts. We love the small venue and have always found their prices to be reasonable. We had tickets to a show a few years ago but were unable to get into the city due to a snow storm. Helium gave us a voucher for... More

Helium is a gem of a comedy club in Center City Philadelphia. I especially love it in the winter months, when tired of drab weather. it's a great chance to have laugh. The club attracts first rate comic talent and prices are usually reasonable. They have a couple acts before the headliner, so it's a full evening of entertainment. There... More

this comedy club brings in all the big names to philadelphia. it sits in a perfect location as just blocks away is rittenhouse square along with a million different restaurant options to go to before or after the show because don't waste your money on food here. just laugh, grab a few drinks and go out to eat.

I bought 7 "reserved" seats for my birthday and received a confirmation stating the show started at 8:30. At 8:04 I received a phone call from Helium which I missed but immediately returned. The staff did not answer. The voicemail they left did not state they would be selling my seats to someone else. I arrived at the club at... More

Kind of cramped space but great show. A little pricey with menu items, but that is to be expected

This has got to be hands down the worst comedy club I have ever been to. My since and I were attending the Charlie Murphy show on Saturday night Nov. 19 and after I got up to use the bathroom was stopped by security in the lobby to say that we were laughing too loud and clapping with our hands...

The wife, daughter and I went to see Carlos Mencia, and of course he was hilarious. However, the food at Helium is overpriced for the quality. And then they make you purchase 2 items off the menu in the showroom. I guess if you eat before or after and just order a couple of beers, you are o.k.

Not even a little bit funny....and I mean the bouncers and management at the club!!! Can't really say much for the comedians, because the bouncers and management were too busy giving my group such a hard time that we only got to see the opener, who was OK at best. My group of 13 purchased advance tickets and paid extra... More
