This high altitude comedy of errors based on the true story of Larry Walters a man dedicated to getting the best view was developed through improvisation at the78th Street Theatre Lab. Larry with the help of fifty surplus weather balloons launched himself to 1 600 feet in an aluminum lawn chair and lived to tell about it. After being spotted by passing aircraft he descended by shooting several of the balloons with a pellet gun got entangled in power lines and was arrested by the FAA for violating commercial airspace in an unauthorized vehicle. Mr. Walters dropped out of sight after a brief time in the spotlight including an appearance on the David Letterman show but not before securing his place as a cult hero for weird daredevils everywhere. A radio version aired on the BBC.
Winner of the Edinburgh Festival's Best of the Fringe.
