Around the World in a Bad Mood Tickets

Around the World in a Bad Mood is the inventive solo performance created and embodied by Rene Foss, a second-generation flight attendant with more than 19 years on the job when the show began. What started as a five-actor revue in New York in 1998 evolved into a compelling one-woman touring piece that blends sketches, song, and a demo-style presentation. The show gives audiences a candid and humorous window into life in the skies and the everyday realities of airline travel.

Currently, public tour dates for 2025 are not listed. When shows are announced, we’ll secure your seats with the same easy, no-fuss service you’ve come to expect from Gold Coast Tickets.

Fringe festival appearances helped cement the show’s reputation, with a notable run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002 and later engagements at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and other U.S. venues (including Minneapolis in 2004). The show is supported by composer Michael McFrederick, with music that complements Foss’s sharp storytelling and a presenter-led PowerPoint/visuals component that adds a distinctive, multimedia layer to performances.

Beyond the stage, fans can explore the official book companion, Around the World in a Bad Mood: Confessions of a Flight Attendant, first published by Hyperion in 2002 and later issued by Grand Central. Media coverage from NPR, CNN, and the Washington Post has highlighted the show’s premise and Foss’s perspective on air travel.
