In Flight Entertainment is a character comedy show by Sarah Ison and Laura Johnston / Free Festival, performed at Basement Bar during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is set aboard Faraway Airlines on a flight from Edinburgh to Sydney, Australia.

The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 18 and over, and involves audience participation. Tickets are £5.
Why see this show?
A charming, high-concept framing device — you're a passenger, they're your hosts, and the entertainment is genuinely live. The conceit is fun, and the mix of character comedy and compilation acts makes for a varied hour.
