“MIKE McALPINE: First Class Ticket”

A brand new musical comedy solo by Mike McAlpine.

Boarding completed and ready for take off!

In the holiday mood? Then come on board at 13.15 every day (not 12th/13th August) at West Port Oracle’s Flight Club, just along from Grassmarket!

Buckle up for a turbulent yet compassionate journey with award-winning comedian Mike McAlpine.

Set aboard Flight Club - Edinburgh’s only underground jet - this one-man show takes to the skies, fusing multi-character storytelling, sly satire and musical interludes with moments of unexpected warmth. From self-absorbed elites to hapless passengers (even an airborne Donald Trump), Mike unravels the fragile egos and hidden kindnesses of modern life.

More than a comedy about travel, First Class Ticket is a playful yet poignant look at human connection in a world obsessed with status and self. With his signature blend of physical theatre, sharp humour, and touching interludes, Mike invites you to laugh, reflect, and perhaps see yourself a little differently.

Whether you love or hate flying, First Class Ticket offers an unforgettable upgrade.
