She’s owned the skies and violated international airspace for 20 years, and now Australia’s very own First Class air bitch, Pam Ann will be commandeering Australian stages once again in 2016 with her Touch Trolley Run To Galley 20th Anniversary Tour.
Our very own jet-setting, A-List queen of the skies plans to land the Louboutins on home turf and hit the tarmac running with her celebratory 4-stop tour with multiple shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney, including extra shows now added for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Iconic international celebrity air-hostess Pam Ann has evolved since first jetting out of her hometown of Melbourne 20 years ago. Pam – the alter-ego of Australian comedian-writer-producer Caroline Reid – has developed cult-status both here and overseas with her masterful portrayal of a brash hot mess of an Australian hostie. She herself says as the airports got bigger, so did her ego… and her mouth filthier.
Pam’s barbed wit has seen her fly many a risky route and negotiate even the most politically incorrect flight path with her blisteringly funny take on the world of airlines and aircrew. Nothing is out of reach of her pristine white gloves, strutting up the aisle with a trolley full of beautifully unpredictable, acerbic airline satire.
There’s not much Pam hasn’t seen or done – from crewing Elton John’s private jet at his express request, sharing a stadium stage on a tour of the UK with Cher, and counting Madonna in her legion of devoted fans worldwide.
In 20 years, Pam’s creator, Caroline Reid, has racked up more flight miles than a tax-funded politician. A born entertainer, Reid’s knack for selling out shows includes New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, San Francisco’s Castro Theatre, Sydney’s State Theatre, Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre, and extends to Poland, Germany, UK, Norway, Scandinavia, France, Ireland, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Finland and Dubai.
She has headlined at the NY’s legendary Carolines on Broadway and in 2010 performed at the prestigious London Palladium, The Royal Albert Hall and sold out three shows at the 3600 seat Hammersmith Apollo – her largest solo audience to date. In Australia, Pam Ann starred on her own television talk show, The Pam Ann Show on FOXTEL. She also hosted the National Live broadcast of Mardi Gras 2009 to an audience of two million viewers.
Among Pam Ann’s greatest hits are an advertising campaign and training videos for British Airways, the inclusion of her hit live DVD, Come Fly With Me on Qantas’ in-flight programming, and being the face of Skyteam Sky Tips for London Heathrow Terminal 4. Pam Ann also performed on their first ever JetBlue – JetPride flight, a first on a US carrier.
Climb aboard and celebrate 20 years of Pam Ann – you can be guaranteed no one does it better!
