 Paula Poundstone
Saturday, April 16
7:30 p.m.
La-Z-Boy Center, Meyer Theater
Reserved Seating: $22
VIP Seating: $32*
Appearing on stage with a stool, a micro-phone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula Poundstone is so quick and unassuming that audience members often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants.” Poundstone’s comedy is one part self-deprecating style and one part offbeat take on the mundane with a dash of razor-sharp wit thrown in for good measure. The result is one hilarious good time! The Boston Globe says, “Paula Poundstone's voice has so much personality – subtle fluctuations in tone and rhythm – that no matter what she says, it sounds funny.”
