Paula Poundstone
It is impossible to attend a Paula Poundstone performance without marveling at her ability to interact spontaneously with the crowd. Her wry observations spark impromptu dialogue and guarantee riotous laughter. Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, her ability to create on-the-spot humor has become the stuff of legend. With a casual air, impeccable timing and razor-sharp wit, Poundstone can fi nd a hilarious angle to almost any subject, from the absurdity of the political world to the deviousness of housecats.
