Upstairs at Helium Comedy Club - Indianapolis

This upstairs showroom is described by the club as an intimate place to catch comics who are still building their audience, with the same energy as the main room but a closer, more personal feel. If you’re checking a listing, look for “Upstairs at Helium” in the event name or the “U” icon next to the performer’s photo.

The address is 10 W. Georgia Street in Indianapolis. Helium says the entrance is inside Circle Centre Mall next to Georgia Street Rhythm and Blues, and the box office is reached through the main entrance on the right-hand side.

If you’re planning a night downtown, the venue page and FAQ are the best place to confirm show-specific arrival timing and ticketing details before you go. For nearby listings across the city, you can also browse the Indianapolis comedy shows page or the broader Indianapolis events calendar.

The club uses a close, intimate seating layout. General admission is first come, first sat, so earlier arrival improves your odds of a better spot. Reserved seats are assigned by management the night of the show, and the club says it does not take seating requests or guarantee a specific location.

For general admission groups, the venue recommends arriving together and early if you want the best chance of sitting together. Tickets bought separately are not guaranteed to be grouped.

The club says the Blue Garage is below the mall on Georgia Street, with fees ranging from $7 to $30 for a 24-hour stay. There is also limited street parking in the area.

Upstairs at Helium is 21+ only. The club also states that this showroom does not have an accessible entrance, so guests who need accessible access should plan accordingly and contact the box office with questions before visiting.

The venue is smoke-free, though comedians may use smoke or e-cigarettes on stage. Guests can take personal photos before or after the show, but photography and video during the performance are prohibited unless the club and artist give written consent; some shows may also require phones to be put away when entering.

The club’s standard showroom minimum is two menu items per person. That minimum can be met with non-alcoholic drinks, bottled water, appetizers, or desserts, and items bought at the front bar or lobby lounge before entering the showroom do not count toward it.

Food service is centered on American pub fare and casual bites. If you want details on the menu or what counts toward the minimum, the FAQ is the clearest reference.

Tickets are sold online through Helium’s site, and the club says ticket resale is prohibited. All sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. If you need help, the box office number is 317-349-4800.

The venue recommends arriving 30 to 45 minutes before showtime, since lines can form early. Box office opening times vary by show start time, and late arrivals are not guaranteed seats or a refund.

Ticket prices are listed with fees included before tax, and the full breakdown appears during checkout.

Make sure everyone in the party is attending the upstairs performance rather than a main-showroom booking. The club marks upstairs shows in the event name or with a “U” icon. The two rooms can have different performances and age requirements, so meeting at the same street address does not necessarily mean everyone holds admission to the same show.

Food or drinks bought in the front bar or lobby before entering do not count toward the two-item showroom minimum. The minimum can be met with menu items such as nonalcoholic drinks, snacks or desserts; it does not require alcohol. Allow time for ordering after you are seated, and follow the staff’s instructions about entering with the rest of your party.
