Jokes on a plane: Russell Kane to perform at 35,000 feet
- Published
Russell Kane will have nowhere to hide if his latest gig is a flop because he'll then have to sit with the crowd.
The comedian will perform onboard a plane flying at 35,000 feet (10,000 metres) as part of this month's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
"When you're flying you don't even like it when the safety announcement goes on when you are trying to read your newspaper," he said.
"So I have no idea how they'll react when comedy comes on."
To mark the month-long arts festival, comedians Richard Herring, Carl Donnelly and Tom Crane will also be performing on flights between Heathrow and Edinburgh airports.
"The cabin crew and pilot know when this is going to happen but the passengers don't," Russell Kane said.
Kane, 30, who is known for using strong language, knows he'll have to tone down his act.
"I can't say anything too rude because there'll be families on the plane," he said.
"I can't say anything scary about flyers or flying. I might just do a tap dance down the speaker system."
This year's Fringe will see 49,497 performances in 299 across Scotland's capital.
"Flying is always funny though, so I might talk about that person who sits next to you and should have booked two seats instead of one," he said.
"Or the woman who goes to stretch over you and ends up giving you a lap dance."
