Poundstone, one of the foremost comics working today, draws on her own
complex life: three kids, 13 cats
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kDihDnST8w , motherhood, a
demanding job and crazy travel schedule, her frustration at getting older, and
a bag of neuroses, including her famous inability to ever shut up. In other
words: she's just like many of us. Part of the fun is watching her engage
various audience members in a humorous dialogue. She manages to gently
make fun of people and some of the nutty things we do without demeaning
anyone. She even manages to handle politics without provoking the pall of
disapproval less artful comics have received. She has a rare talent.
After the show, she'll meet with anyone who wants to meet with her. She
happily signs autographs and poses for pictures. A refreshing anti-celebrity:
warm, gracious, genuine. If you like intelligent, philosophical comedy
you'll love Paula Poundstone. It's an inexpensive night out that will deliver
priceless laughs and memories.
