The comedy programming will include stand-up performances by Independence Air employee and airport comic Dave George, "The FLYi Guy," as well as other Laugh Factory comics.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031119/DCW018LOGO-a ) The 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."
