System DULLES, Va., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Low-fare
airline Independence Air (NASDAQ:FLYi) is proud to announce a new
partnership with the World Famous Laugh Factory comedy clubs to
co-produce original comedy material that will appear on the
airline's digEplayer inflight entertainment system. The comedy
programming will include stand-up performances by Independence Air
employee and airport comic Dave George, "The FLYi Guy," as well as

Laugh Factory clubs -- located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood as
well as Times Square in New York -- are among the best known comedy
stages in the world, and have served as regular performance venues
for stars including Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Rodney
Dangerfield, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Dave
Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Jon Lovitz, Roseanne and many
more. The club has hosted television shows and films, as well as
numerous Hollywood events. The Laugh Factory describes itself as "
... proudly catering to up-and-coming comics, helping them to
develop their talent rather than exploit it." Laugh Factory owner
Jamie Masada said, "We are excited to enter this new relationship
with Independence Air. This is exactly the kind of win-win
corporate partnership we are always on the lookout for, since it
creates a great new opportunity for us to promote our clubs and our
brand name, and provides Independence Air with a new entertainment
option for its customers that no other airline can offer." He
added, "I believe the airline industry has never particularly been
known for its sense of humor, so I've been intrigued by the whole
idea of being associated with an 'airport comic' since I first met
Dave George. He's a great new talent who is perfect in this one-
of-a-kind role. We look forward to featuring The FLYi Guy at our
clubs, and to providing some of our regular Laugh Factory comics
with a new venue for their material at 37,000 feet above America."
