Caroline Reid

Biography

Pam Ann is the air hostess alter ego of Australian comedian, writer, producer & DJ Caroline Reid. Performances focus on the nuances of air travel, identifying the individual quirks of some of the biggest international airlines and their media stereotypes. The character of Pam Ann has developed a cult-like following. The name Pam Ann is a play on words from Pan Am. In her shows, she refers to the so-called memories of the "Golden Age of Aviation" (for her, the period between the late 1950s and early 1970s when the jet airplanes entered widespread use), often contrasting it with modern times, and visual/social changes like the lack of knives and glass on board. Overall, it's observational comedy of airlines using her own extensive travel experiences. Pam Ann has been featured in an advertising campaign for British Airways with over 1.25m views in a six-week period. Qantas had Pam Ann's Live DVD Come Fly with Me in their in-flight programming. In 2010, Pam Ann provided in-flight service on JetBlue and JetPride flight which was a first on any US carrier operating from San Francisco to Long Beach for the Long Beach Pride. In 2010, Reid prepared to expand Pam Ann's notoriety to the U.S., relocating to New York and in 2016, moved to Miami where she expanded her repertoire to DJ Pam Ann.
