Legendary comedian, actor, and writer George Wallace is making his highly anticipated return to St. Louis this weekend for a two-night run at Helium Comedy Club, July 11–12, 2025, with shows at 7:00 PM and 9:15 PM on Friday, and 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM on Saturday. With ticket prices ranging from $41 for general admission to $61 for front row seating, fans are guaranteed an unforgettable night of comedy from one of the most iconic voices in stand-up.
George Wallace whose lightning-fast wit, observational brilliance, and unforgettable storytelling have made him one of comedy’s most respected figures. Known affectionately as “The New Mr. Vegas,” Wallace enjoyed more than a decade of success headlining his own show in Las Vegas—an unprecedented run that solidified his status as one of the greats in stand-up entertainment.
Unlike any other show on the strip, Wallace’s performances were interactive, heartfelt, and wildly generous—audiences could walk away with everything from diamond necklaces to tropical cruises, gourmet dinners, and even a new car. His spontaneous audience interactions and “anything can happen” attitude became his signature.
Now, Wallace is stepping into a new chapter with Prime Video’s upcoming comedy series Clean Slate, where he stars alongside Laverne Cox. The half-hour show—produced by Sony Pictures Television and developed by the late, great Norman Lear—was greenlit on Lear’s 100th birthday and stands as a historic final project from the legendary TV pioneer. In Clean Slate, Wallace plays Henry Slate, a traditional, outspoken Alabama car wash owner whose world is turned upside down when his long-estranged child returns home—not as the son he remembers, but as Desiree Slate (Cox), a proud and resilient trans woman. The series explores themes of family, growth, and acceptance, all with Wallace’s signature blend of humor and heart.
Don’t miss your chance to see a true comedy legend LIVE in St. Louis at Helium Comedy Club on July 11–12, 2025. No two shows are ever the same, and with Wallace, one thing is certain—you’ll be laughing long after the curtain closes.
