Description

Need a little laughter in your life. Make plans for November 12, 2005 with a friend for a fun evening with stand-up comic Paula Poundstone.
Your package includes a Meet-n-Greet with Paula back stage - bring your camera!!


Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula Poundstone's ability to create humor on the spot is legendary.
There is a wonderful synergy to each of her one-of-a-kind two-hour shows. She improvises with a crowd like a jazz musician.
She will find an audience member who sells grass seed to golf courses in part of the state of Maryland and wonder, "In such a small territory, even if the grass seed were any good at all, how could you possibly be working to your full potential?"-- then she swings in another unexpected direction without a plan, without a net.
Paula is so quick and unassuming that audience members leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and debating whether the random people she talked to were "plants."


Known for her honesty, and an off-kilter view of the world, Paula is currently delighting crowds across the country on her hilarious national tour, "The Big Picture". "My show is about finding the teeny tiny part we play in the "Big Picture", like a life-sized 'Where is Waldo!'"says Paula.
Never one to be defined by the usual gender-biased topics of relationships, diets, men or sex, Paula nimbly mixes in everything from how the shameful deterioration of the broadcast news industry threatens our democracy, and arguing over a parking space at the museum of tolerance, to recycling her newspaper with the cover story on the oil spill, her near-death experience with cinnamon, and the frustration of living in a house full of pencils with no erasers.

"How can an eraser that small possibly eradicate all of the mistakes one could make with all of that lead?"
She even handles politics without provoking the pall of disapproval less artful comics have received.


"I love doing my job,"Paula says. "It is a privilege to perform for people who come to see me and I would do it if there were only six, although I would have to up the ticket price."

Also included in this package are an Autographed Photo and a Paula Poundstone T-shirt.

This is a Live Event Item.
