Airborn(e)
Two dimwitted but loveable best friends, Jay and Kay, take a flight for the first time, while a criminal mastermind follows closely behind. As Jay and Kay unknowingly fumble through one absurd situation to the next, they find their friendship and brains put to the test.
Had so much fun at Airborn(e)! Karam Daoud (also the writer and director) and Jacques Leger are an awesome comedic duo who expertly delivered laugh after laugh with both wordplay and physical comedy. If you’ve ever taken a flight before, you will immediately find a lot of clever humour with the in-show announcements as well done by Sarah Lamoureux the stage manager. The show is family-friendly, with some emotional depth too. Seriously a lot of fun for everyone! I definitely recommend checking out Airborn(e).
Above and Beyond!
From takeoff to landing, “Airborn(e)” is a flight that shouldn’t be missed! A comedic show written, directed, and presented by Karam Daoud and her co-star, Jacques Leger, is a show to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
“Airborn(e)” follows the story of two best friends, Jay and Kay, as they board their first flight to travel the world. Meanwhile, a criminal mastermind on the loose finds themself in the unfortunate situation of boarding the same flight as them. As the duo finds themselves in situations that test the true power of their friendship, they learn bravery and what their dreams truly are.
The set, light, and costumes can be described as minimalistic. However, the limitedness of the set didn’t take away from the play itself, as Karam Daoud and Jacques Leger truly carried the show from start to finish. The set consisted of white folding chairs that were easy to rearrange for a scene change. The light switched from a wicked green to a soft white wash light. Costume pieces were taken on and off, exchanged and replaced easily and effortlessly. Daoud and Leger distinguished themselves effortlessly and clearly, even with minimal costume changes. However minimalistic and simplistic their set and costumes may be, it didn’t take away from their performance.
With jokes at every corner, both for the young and the old audience, Daoud and Leger performed immaculately. Their exaggerated movements, their comedic timing, and their improvisation enhanced the experience of the show immensely. Of course, they aren’t the only funny ones in the show. Sarah Lamoureux’s voiceovers for the airport and airplane added more fun to the story with jokes to be remembered for a long time.
A sky-high story for family fun, make sure you catch your flight with “Airborn(e)”!
