HELIUM COMEDY CLUB
With two locations, one of which is in Philadelphia, Portland's Helium Comedy Club is the go to spot for both famous and up-and-coming comedians to shine. With weekly open mic nights, great food, drink, and private event options, Helium keeps the people happy.
If you're looking for an entertaining evening, Helium is one of the best things to do in Portland. Stumble in and you might see Patton Oswalt, David Cross, or Louis C.K. or you might discover the next George Carlin. Laughter is the best medicine. It's time to take your medicine.
