Appear­ing on stage with a stool, a micro­phone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, PAULA POUNDSTONE is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spon­tane­ity.

Paula's spontaneity and intelligent humor makes her the perfect panelist for NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me where she gets to match wits with some of our nation's leading pundits.  The show is a winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for Broadcasting excellence.

Paula was the first woman to win an ACE Award for Best Standup Comedy performance and the first woman to be invited to perform at the distinguished White House Correspondents dinner. 

She has starred in solo specials on HBO and BRAVO and made frequent TV appearances on Letterman, Leno, Craig Ferguson, and Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion

Paula is also an author and lecturer.  She wrote her first book for Random House, There Is Nothing in This Book That I Meant To Say (with foreword by Mary Tyler Moore) and is hard at work on her second tomb for the same imprint.  

Her first CD is entitled:  I Heart Jokes: Paula Tells Them In Maine.  Her editorial pieces can be heard on NPR's Morning Edition

It is easy to see why a night with Paula Poundstone will keep you laughing and be like no other!
