Pam Ayres to Tour Nationally

Writer, broadcaster and entertainer Pam Ayres will tour Australia with her latest show A Fun-Filled Evening with... Pam Ayres from Monday 7 November to Friday 2 December 2011.  Her return to Australia coincides with the publication of her autobiography, The Necessary Aptitude and a DVD, Pam Ayres Word Perfect Tour.

Since her first appearances on television over 35 years ago, Pam has been an audience favourite throughout the world for her observations on the comic details of everyday life.

Pam’s poetry books, CDs, and DVDs have sold millions over the years.  Pam has performed several times for Her Majesty The Queen, including a private performance at St. James’s Palace in London, and was awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2004.

Pam’s show will include a selection of new poems and stories, as well as some audience favourites.  After the show Pam will sign copies of her autobiography.

"If you get the chance to see PAM AYRES, do, don't think you're the wrong generation to appreciate it, trust me, there were all ages in that hall and no-one left that hall without sore ribs from laughing.  Anyone who can be on stage for 2 hours...and have an entire theatre curled up in small, squeaking balls of glee deserves goddess status." - Sunday Mail

“Pam Ayres is a poet for the people. Her verse portrays a wicked sense of humour, and deals with subjects not normally thought to be worthy of poetry.”- Melbourne Herald Sun

“Pam Ayres, the bestselling poet, writes as rhapsodically about the Wonderbra as Wordsworth did about daffodils.” - The Guardian

“Forget the corny comedian: Pam Ayres is a proper poet, whose wistful, funny, and perceptive verse captures both the joy and unfairness of life.” - Sunday Times

Pam Ayres’ autobiography The Necessary Aptitude follows her from her birth in Berkshire, to joining the Women’s Royal Air Force, and then her incredibly successful 35 year career as a writer, broadcaster and entertainer.  Her collections of poetry are best sellers around the world. The Necessary Aptitude will be on sale from the beginning of October 2011from all good booksellers.

Acorn Media Australia is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Pam Ayres Word Perfect Tour DVD on sale November 2011.  Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Windsor, viewers join Pam Ayres for an intimate evening of laughter and poetry in her own inimitable style.  The DVD will be available online at http://acornmediaau.com/ and from all major retailers.
