What COVID precautions should I take?
With ever-changing guidelines and mandates, please refer to the local government agencies for the most up-to-date information. Customers are expected to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others.

What is the difference between Reserved and General Admission seating?
Reserved seats are pre-assigned for you by management. They are the best seats available for your party size at the time of assigning. General Admission seating is available on a first-come, first-sat basis. The earlier you arrive, the better your seats will be. Ticket purchasers who arrive on time are guaranteed seating.

Please note: We do not offer any standing room ticket options.

What time should I arrive?
The box office will open 1 hour before showtime for the early show and 30 minutes before the late show. All tickets are subject to expire 15 minutes before showtime. If you are running late or think you will arrive later than 15 minutes before showtime, please call the box office to let them know.

Does Bananas accept credit cards?
We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and debit cards. No personal checks accepted.

What is the refund policy?
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds or exchanges.

What is Ticket Protection?
Ticket protection is insurance that allows you to cancel your order to receive a venue credit for a future event. It can be added to most orders at the time of purchase by selecting it on the next page after choosing your quantity and ticket type.

Please Note: Ticket Protection cannot be added to an order after it has already been placed.

How can I redeem my Ticket Protection?
Email protection@heliumcomedy.com with your order information (first and last name, email address, and order number) no less than 24 hours before showtime.

Please Note: Cancelation requests received via phone, chat, or less than 24 hours before showtime will not be accepted.

Is there a drink minimum?
Instead of a drink minimum, we have a two-item per person minimum in the Showroom (e.g., 1 soda and 1 snack).

Should I research the comedian before attending a show?
Yes. Comedy is subjective and certain comedians are not for everybody. Watching a YouTube clip or reading the headliner's biography is a great way to get insight on the expected performance.

What is the Showroom like? How does seating work?
The Showroom arrangement is similar to a cabaret theater – chairs surrounding tables, facing the stage. With friendly and discreet table service, we ensure you won’t miss any of the action.

How long do the shows typically last?
Shows are usually between 90 and 105 minutes, although the show’s actual length is entirely dependent on the headliner and what their current performance calls for.

Is there a dress code?
Nice, casual attire.

Is the club fully accessible?
Yes. Call our box office for more information. We encourage all patrons who have a disability to reach out to us to make accommodations.

Where can I park near the club?
There is plenty of free parking located around the building.

Is your club smoke-free?
Yes, however smoke may be used at times by the comedians on stage.

Does Bananas Comedy Club have an “Open Mic” night?
Currently Bananas doesn't operate an Open Mic. Stay tuned for updates.

Are cameras allowed in the club?
Patrons may take personal photographs BEFORE or AFTER the show. Taking pictures and videotaping shows during the show without the club’s and the artist’s written consent is strictly prohibited.
