Paula Poundstone

August 26th

One World Theatre

Paula Poundstone’s comedy is one part self-deprecating style, one part offbeat take on the mundane with a dash of razor-sharp wit thrown in for good measure. The comic returns to One World Theatre for two shows on Friday, August 26th.

Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula Poundstone is so quick and unassuming that audience members at her live shows often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter - and debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants.” She remains one of the most successful and busiest comics in the business.

Poundstone's razor-sharp wit makes her a perfect fit as a regular panelist on National Public Radio's popular weekly news quiz show, "Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me” - a 2008 winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for broadcasting excellence). Her first book, There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say, is out in paperback and also is now available on audio, and Poundstone is hard at work on her second book. her commentaries have also been heard on NPR's "Morning Edition," and her blogs appear in the Huffington Post and 23/6, as well as the NPR Opinion Page.

Paula Poundstone performs on August 20th at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $95.

Pre-concert dinners served by World of Mouth Catering on the theatre’s picturesque Piazza 90 are also available for an additional $35. Doors open one hour early with half price drink specials available at the bar prior to the show.

For tickets and information, call (512) 32-WORLD (329-6753) or visit www.OneWorldTheatre.org.
