FIRST NEW YORK CITY PERFORMANCE IN 4 YEARS…

NEW SHOW PAM ANN: COCKPIT RUNS 5 NIGHTS JUNE 12 – 16

New York, NY—PAM ANN has toured with Cher and crewed private jets for Elton John. Now the most hilarious airhostess in the sky returns to Joe’s Pub at The Public in her most daring comedy show yet, PAM ANN: COCKPIT, this spring at Joe’s Pub, June 12 – 16 at 9:30 PM and 9 PM.

Tickets on sale now at http://www.joespub.com/.

In her new show, the gutsy and glamorous, sixties-inspired Pam Ann takes aim at the numerous airline calamities making news today. From the grounding of Boeing 787’s Dreamliner to Emirates Airlines’ door blowing open at 37,000ft, all the deliciously alarming incidents that are plaguing the world’s airline industry are discussed. This is Pam Ann’s first stateside tour in four years, following sold-out tours in Australia and Europe. WATCH PAM ANN IN “GLOBAL ALLIANCE.”  

Pam Ann will poke fun at air travel, identify the individual quirks of some of the biggest international airlines (and their stereotypes) and mix in a generous dose of camp, humor and Mad Men-era glamour. Passengers embark on a journey from security check-in to boarding to landing. In Pam Ann: Cockpit, the comedienne will premiere her spoof appearance on the ABC-TV series, PAN AM.  She will also present never-before-seen-in-the-USA footage from her latest airline news channel.

Pam Ann is the alter ego of Australian comic Caroline Reid. Reid’s portrayal of the outrageous airhostess has been featured in advertising campaigns for British Airways and Sky Team.  In fact, as the celebrity spokeswoman of Sky Team Terminal 4 at Heathrow, Pam Ann is featured on all in-flight video programming and has been featured on CNN and CNBC. Pam Ann has appeared in promotions for KLM/Air France, JetBLue, Lufthansa, British Airways, Qantas, SAS and low cost British carrier EasyJet uses her videos in their training. In Australia, Pam Ann starred in her own television talk show, “The Pam Ann Show” on the national Foxtel channel. She also hosted Australia’s live broadcast of Mardi Gras that aired in over two million households.   Even Madonna is a fan, describing Pam as “cruelly funny”.
