Upstairs at Helium: John Grimes

About this event

John Grimes was born and raised in South St. Louis. He had a rough life growing up, but he and his family always found a way to get a laugh out of their situation-an early inspiration. He graduated from Eureka High School and went on to attend Purdue University. It was in college he realized he had a different calling after watching Eddie Murphy’s “Raw” for the first time. John decided to move to LA, leaving Purdue to pursue standup comedy. It was a tough road, but he made it to LA and never looked back! His humor is thought-provoking and energetic, and he provides a unique perspective on everyday life as only he could. You’ll never look at things the same after hearing his thoughts. And he’s only getting started. "Jokes are funny, the truth is hilarious." - John Grimes PLEASE NOTE: our Upstairs showroom is 21+ and is NOT wheelchair accessible.
