(RUTHERFORD, NJ) -- Bananas Comedy Club presents Helen Hong with three performances from February 6-7, 2026. A fan favorite on the hit NPR podcast Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, Helen Hong also hosts the celebrity trivia game show podcast Go Fact Yourself.
A long-time touring standup comedian, Helen’s comedy special Well Hong was co-produced by Comedy Dynamics and Tribeca Film Festival, and is streaming now on Amazon Prime & Apple TV+. Audiences love Helen’s lightning quick crowd work which can be seen on her Instagram and TikTok @funnyhelenhong.
Helen’s acting credits include roles on Never Have I Ever, Silicon Valley, the Jennifer Garner Christmas movie Family Switch, and 5 seasons of The Thundermans on Nickelodeon.
A breast-cancer survivor, Helen makes light of her cancer experience (and her “fresh new boobies”) onstage. She also brings light to Asian-American issues with her family’s YouTube channel “Old Korean Dad Stories.”
