British Airways appear to be raising the bar for both corporate responsibility and stand-up comedy by teaming up with Comic Relief to forge a year-long partnership and deliver a comic treat – one which has never been done before.

On Saturday 12th March 2011, British comedians Dara O’Briain, Jack Whitehall and Jon Richardson will team up with British Airways and Guinness World Records in an attempt to set the record for the “Highest Stand-Up Comedy Gig in the World”. The 35000 feet high stunt will be part of a wider campaign by British Airways called Flying Start. Combining Comic Relief UK’s expertise in tackling the causes of world poverty with BA’s commitment to community investment in the countries where the airline operates, Flying Start will be an effort to improve the lives of disadvantaged children at home and abroad. The money raised through Flying Start will go to support a number of Comic Relief projects in the UK, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

To find out more about helping give a Flying Start to children all over the world with laughs at 350,000 feet and for a chance to win a free seat among the 75 pairs of lucky people flying over the UK to enjoy two-and-a-half hours of top-notch stand-up comedy for charity in the air – including champagne and refreshments – fans can text ‘Fly1’ to 70300 or visit the British Airways Facebook page for more details, to enter the competition and for full terms and conditions.
