Louie: Travel Day/ South

10:00pm – Monday, July 2 on ABC2

Louie is at the airport checking in for his flight to Birmingham, Alabama.

After being issued a boarding pass, Louie is told that his flight has been cancelled as the plane has crashed, so he accepts a standby seat on another flight.

On the plane, a very large man sits next to Louie and encroaches on his personal space. The pilot then announces the plane’s departure is delayed due to a tornado and hurricane warning. Once in the air the plane suffers a severe bout of turbulence which prompts the pilot to ask God to have mercy on their souls. Eventually, the flight arrives safely at its destination.

Later that evening, Louie performs his stand-up to a large audience in Birmingham. When he starts making jokes about the audience’s hometown, he receives a frosty reception from the crowd.

Afterwards, Louie goes to a diner where he’s approached by a burly man who tells him that his sister is a huge fan. Louie thanks him, but it’s obvious the man expects Louie to go over to meet his sister. Louie reluctantly obliges, and after an awkward exchange, he politely tells the sister he has to leave because he has a plane to catch.

As he walks out into the night, Louie is accosted by the brother and threatened with violence for upsetting his sister. An elderly sheriff is nearby and comes to Louie’s rescue. After driving him back to his hotel, the sheriff tells Louie that when someone does you a favour, it’s only right to give them something in return… such as a kiss on the lips.
