Nominee Golden Gibbo Award 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Your very dedicated Flight Attendant will usher you to your seat and take care of you on the dysfunctional 55 minute social experiment we call economy.

Cabin Pressure mixes clown, drag and sketch comedy in a tapestry of characters bulging prop comedy. This flight addresses the bizarre modern ritual of getting into a giant metal tube with hundreds of strangers and blasting through the sky.

Opting in for audience participation could score you a Business Class upgrade with five-star quality service, refreshments, reclining seat, and endless piccolo sparkling cuvees!

Note: emergency exit available at all times.
