Helium Presents: Ian Fidance
Ian Fidance brings his energetic, unconventional stand-up to Helium Comedy Club for a series of Philadelphia performances. The New York City comedian, actor, and writer is known for a style that combines thoughtful observations, explicit material, and deliberately silly, high-energy delivery. He is also the host of the “Bein’ Ian with Jordan” podcast.
Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, Fidance performs regularly at New York’s Comedy Cellar. His credits include NPR’s “This American Life,” the “Gilly and Keeves” sketch show, “The Last O.G.” with Tracy Morgan, Comedy Central’s “This Week at the Comedy Cellar,” and writing contributions to “Crank Yankers” and Netflix’s “Waffles + Mochi.” His work has also appeared in the comedy poetry collection “Eating Salad Drunk: Haiku’s for the Burnout Age by Comedy Greats.” He currently lives in Brooklyn.
