Helium Presents: Michael Colyar
Michael Colyar is a multi-talented, actor, comedian, and author. Michael is no stranger to work as he is still packing out shows in major cities night after night. His wit, charm, and unique sense of style has been captivating audiences since the 80’s. Michael consistently performed every weekend — 5 shows a day on Venice Beach — and was rightfully dubbed the “King of Venice Beach” while performing 9 years straight. His fans can’t get enough of him. “He’s real,” “down to earth,” “a giver,” they say. Michael’s philanthropic legacy extends beyond his $100K win from "Star Search" of which he gave 50% to the homeless. Today, Michael still finds the time to share laughter with those in need in shelters, rehabilitation centers, schools, and military bases. Michael Colyar is best known for his starring roles in "Black-ish," "House Party III," "Norbit," "The Princess & The Frog," and his role as Mr. Whitaker on the hit television series “Martin.” Management reserves the right to prevent customers from entering the facility who they deem disruptive or dangerous to other patrons.
