Pam Ann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pam Ann is the alter ego of Australian comedian Caroline Reid. An emerging icon in gay culture, she portrays the air-hostess Pam Ann, a mixture of drag, camp and glamour, and a pun on the legendary airline Pan Am. Reid as Pam Ann can be seen on tour in the United Kingdom as well as the Bloomsbury Theatre, she also has a guest-role in the BBC show Fasttrack. She also frequently conducts shows in major cities in the USA, Canada and her native Australia.
Performances tend to emphasise the vagaries of air travel, including the identifying quirks of various airlines around the world, mixed with a generous dose of ribald humour and double entendre. Reid often caters to airline employees and frequent travellers in her audience, directly involving them in the performance.
She has drawn criticism for some of her performances, particularly one in which she poked fun at the SQ 006 air crash disaster.
