Upstairs at Helium: Lavar Walker
Upstairs at Helium: Lavar Walker
Welcome to the meanest comedy show in Indianapolis.
After winning the 2012 national Miller Lite Stand-Up comedy competition judged by Kevin Hart, comedian/writer LaVar Walker joined The Shaquille O'Neal All Star Comedy Jam, touring 42 markets and taping a Showtime special as well. In addition to this, he was a finalist for the NBC Diversity Showcase and advanced to the semifinals in NBC’s Last Comic Standing. His other credits include BET’s Comicview, The Mo'Nique Show, and Kevin Hart’s comedy special on the Laugh Out Loud network.
On the scripted front, he produced/ played the lead in the comedy project, The Pharmacist, and can recently be seen as ‘Marty the Manager’ in the Summit Entertainment Feature Film, Uncle Drew.
Walker was born on the southside of Chicago and earned a doctoral degree in pharmacy from Xavier University in New Orleans. Despite his string of successes and growing popularity, LaVar remains humble. He told the Chicago Sun-Times that he just wants to be happy in what he is doing. "To be honest with you, I just want to be happy doing what I do and make a great living doing it. Does that sound crazy? If you get right down to it," he says, "looking back on everything I've done to this point, I think I made it. I'm the biggest star in the world to me." Sun Times reporter Mike Thomas called this attitude: "Pretty sane actually."
PLEASE NOTE: our Upstairs showroom is 21+ and is NOT wheelchair accessible.
Management reserves the right to prevent customers from entering the facility who they deem disruptive or dangerous to other patrons.
