Helium Comedy Club - Alpharetta, Georgia

Abc Abc

I've visited 100's of comedy clubs, here are my opinions of this place 1month into its opening:
Act: 1 was terrible and 1 okay.
Food: Ceasar Salad had a slanted designer bowl which was too full & had half of the salad fall out of it at every bite, not best design. Lettuce was fresh but barely chopped, had 6"x4" pieces. Could be better. Coffee was not good and no choices of milk/ creamers.
Service: Server forgot the Utensils & the Coffee. Asked the host/security &he was very helpful.
Atmosphere: New, fresh, nicely designed, plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably. Great location, can definitely charge the prices they charge-just need to improve the Service,Food Quality and Comedians.

I drove from Mississippi to see Rhys Darby, and it was my first time in a comedy club. I actually bought another ticket right after the 7:00 show so I could see him at 9:30 as well! The food and drinks I had were yummy and very reasonably priced. The place is attractive with a cool mural of Atlanta attractions as a stage backdrop. With reserved tickets and an early arrival, I got to sit in front, just a few feet from all the kiwi action! All the staff I encountered were *incredibly* nice and cool. They even took people's books backstage to be autographed because Rhys wasn't able to come out and meet fans on the night I went (SADNESS).

Lots of potential, but the way the tables are set up seems like some sort of code violation or hazard. Once you’re sitting you’re essentially locked in. They are new and still figuring it out, the rest of the venue was good, and this was one show so maybe it’s changed. Though having random chairs and tables crammed together in no meaningful order needs to be addressed, it’s dangerous and chaotic. I feel for the servers too, they can not access tables without spilling or getting bumped into. Two drink minimum, of course, it’s a comedy club, it’s that way everywhere and has been for decades.

Cozy and warm comedy club. It is conveniently located at Windward Plaza, Alpharetta. Easy and free parking. Helpful staff. Fun time with talented comedians.

Overall this is a great event venue to have in the Windward area. They have a few things to tweak but nothing that should keep you away. They are very strict about the two item minimum when you’re in the venue. However, our server never approached the table- we had to flag her down after waiting for 20 minutes. If you’re going to require a minimum you must be able to support it. They have food runners and the food came out quickly. The servers ran the drinks and were completely bottlenecked. They could make a lot more money if they could get drinks out faster. It’s definitely bar food, but the portions were generous.

This place has only been open a few weeks but it's still running like a well oiled machine. From the entrance to to the ticket counter to the folks seating, they provided excellent customer service AND appreciation. The food is good drinks could be a little stronger but hey can't win em all huh? I saw one of my favorite queens of comedy and can't wait to return again and again!

Been to plenty of comedy clubs and this one is great!! Clean, inviting, comfortable and easy parking. Good staff, good atmosphere, drinks and food are good. Not a bad seat in the main room. Only thing that I’d say needs work is the sound. Obviously the new staff are still working out the kinks but a bit more focus on the sound quality from whomever is running that would be appreciated. We went for Craig Robinson and it was amazing and super funny!! It’s so nice to have a good quality comedy club away from the congestion of Atlanta.

For those reading these reviews, 2 things you should ignore:
1. Anyone complaining about the comedy or content, if you get made fun off because you decided to sit front row, or if you didn’t do your research on the comedian and are offended, that’s on you.

2. The two drink/food item minimum. That is comedy club standard across the country. Don’t like it? Stay home.

Had a blast in the small room on Sunday, Nov 3. Considering that the club just opened, they did a great job and I'll definitely be back. Looking forward to checking out the main room!

The entire staff was so friendly and excited to be there. The food and drink service was very quick.

My turn for the 2 item rant....
As of Nov 3, 2024...I don't see how anyone could miss the 2 item showroom minimum! It was on website FAQs, in the order confirmation email, the staff told me at the ticket desk, there was a large sign behind the ticket desk, there were smaller signs at the lobby bar AND they had rotating messages on the screen in the showroom before show begins! P.s. this is an industry standard and the fine print mentions that you can take a $4 charge per item not purchased in lieu of ordering food/drink in the showroom. That's about as good as you can expect as far as communication goes! Covering as many bases as they can. If you fail to pay attention or come to an event unprepared then don't blame the venue.

Keep up the good work!
