Wayne Deakin: Airline

"Given the potential for disaster, he pulls it off."

Wayne Deakin is paid to travel the world and tell jokes. It makes sense: he's pretty funny, especially viewed under the right light (in this case, a curious shade of salmon). Airline is a mixture of Deakin's experiences on his journeys and his views on air travel in general. Given the potential for disaster, he pulls it off quite well. His comic style is almost laidback; he takes time with his delivery, imbuing it with a sense of gravity. Deakin is conscious of his audience, incorporating them into his performance. An entertaining and very engaging comedian.
