About this show
New Yorker turned Berlin comedian Max Elias, with a lot to say about both places, offers up wild observations, out-of-pocket comparisons and gleefully warped conclusions – it’s all good for a laugh at Airplane Baby. Identity, social commentary, a whole lot of dark thoughts the average baby definitely doesn't have, and barbed musings abound throughout this hour-long comic barrage. Get ready to be "educated" through a series of culture shocks, mismatched expectations and seemingly random facts. You'll come in wondering what an airplane baby is supposed to be and leave a couple kilos lighter from laughter.
