Mo'Nique is headed to Alpharetta this weekend, bringing four stand-up performances to Helium Comedy Club across Friday and Saturday nights. The Oscar-winning comedian and actress is set to take the stage for exclusive sets as part of a run billed as a return, following her time hosting her own acclaimed talk show based in Atlanta.
According to Atlanta News First, Mo'Nique is known for her run with The Queens of Comedy and for playing Nikki Parker on television, in addition to hosting her Atlanta-based talk show. Helium Comedy Club, located in Alpharetta, Georgia, describes her on its show listing as an award-winning comedian, actress, author and television host, and the club's biography credits her with four NAACP Image Awards along with an Academy Award-winning performance as Mary Jones in Precious.
A Career Spanning Stand-Up, Film and Television
The venue's description leans heavily on Mo'Nique's résumé, pointing to her Oscar-winning turn in Precious as a career highlight alongside her comedy roots. Helium's events page notes her television and comedy credits include The Queens of Comedy, Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance and The Mo'Nique Show, the same biography notes, underscoring a run that stretches from stand-up stages to network television.
Tickets are available for the performances, though specific showtimes and pricing for this particular engagement were not detailed in the venue's listing. The booking includes four stand-up sets across two nights.
What to Know Before You Go
Helium's policies apply across its shows, and a few are worth noting for anyone planning to attend. The club states that its Main Showroom is fully accessible, and that all sales are final with no refunds or exchanges offered once tickets are purchased.
Age restrictions vary by room: the club says its Main Showroom is 18-plus unless otherwise noted, while shows in its Upstairs showroom are 21-plus. Helium also enforces a two-item food or drink minimum per person in the Showroom, a standard policy at the venue regardless of who's performing.
