Twenty-five years ago, Paula Poundstone climbed onto a
Greyhound bus and traveled across the country, stopping in at open mic
nights at comedy clubs as she went. A high school drop-out, she went

your laughter as a regular panelist on NPR’s popular rascal of a weekly
news quiz show, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell
Me. She tours regularly, performing standup comedy
across the country, causing Bob Zany with the Boston Globe to write: “Poundstone can regale an audience
for several hours with her distinctive brand of wry, intelligent and witty
comedy.”
