Two hypersexualised pigs dressed as flight attendants live out their dream of flying on a plane to destination freedom in a show featuring an absurd plotline – honestly, the sky’s the limit – and it’s constantly surprising. It has an almost robotic and snappily written script that takes a while to get into, but it cleverly tackles themes of budget aviation and climate change in the most uniquely entertaining way. Both performers, Lou Doyle and Trevor White, are absolutely brilliant and highly committed to their respective characters, and successfully draw their audience in, fully immersing us in the story as we soar the skies. This won’t be for everyone, but those receptive to it will have a flight of their lives.

Underbelly Cowgate, until 24 Aug.
